Which cities in the middle colonies become major seaports and commercial centers

answer:

the lost generation refers to the generation of artists, writers, and intellectuals that came of age during the first world war (1914-1918) and the “roaring twenties.” the utter carnage and uncertain outcome of the war was disillusioning, and many began to question the values and assumptions of western civilization.  

        the experience of the western democracies in the first world war was disheartening and disillusioning. so-called “civilized” countries had declared war on each other for uncertain reasons, had fought to a stalemate in brutal trench warfare conditions, and had then negotiated a peace settlement that neither settled the underlying causes of tension nor truly brought peace.

          the nationalistic fervor that had motivated many americans and europeans to enlist in the war effort dissipated in the muddy trenches of battle, where the purpose and aims of the war seemed distant and unclear. technological advances in armaments made world war i the deadliest conflict in human history, claiming millions of casualties on all sides. the very nature of the war called into question the west’s perception of itself as “civilized.” small wonder, then, that many in the united states and europe began to question the values and assumptions of western civilization.
