The GI Bill of Rights was a law passed in 1944. It helped WWII veterans buy homes and pay for a higher education. GI is a term used to describe soldiers in WWII that means “Government Issue”. The GI Bill of Rights gave the soldiers low-interest mortgages to allow them to buy homes, and still left them with enough money for college and/or graduate school. These rights gave the 1950s post war economic situation a boom. The economy went up and life was good. Images Provided By: []
