The Fifties were great if you are a conservative Republican who believes in family values. This was a repressed decade for a counrty that wasnt quite ready to confront issues that would later come forth in the '60's ( a great time). Rock and Roll was considered rebellious, there was still segregation in the South, we went to war in a country few people knew about for dubious reasons ( Korea). There was an extreme paranoia of communism. Not a really good decade.
