Answer 1

Here are the true or false designations for each statement:

1. **The National Interstate & Defense Highways Act was created after Levittowns popped up in suburbia.**
**True.** The National Interstate and Defense Highways Act was signed into law in 1956, while Levittowns, which were mass-produced suburban housing developments, began appearing in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

2. **McCarthyism was a time when individual rights and freedoms were overlooked to prevent the spread of communism within the US.**
**True.** McCarthyism, particularly during the early 1950s, involved aggressive investigations and accusations of communism that often disregarded individual rights and civil liberties.

3. **The success of Sputnik I spurred the US to prioritize science, technology, engineering, and math in education.**
**True.** The launch of Sputnik I by the Soviet Union in 1957 led to a sense of urgency in the US to improve its educational focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

4. **Brown v. Board of Education overturned the ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson.**
**True.** The Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, effectively overturning the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896.

So all the statements are **True**.
