The effect of the GI Bill between WWII and Korean wars- The GI Bill provided benefits for returning veterans from World War II and the Korean War. Some of the benefits were low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, cash payments of tuition (high school or vocational education). This was available to every veteran who had been on active duty during the war years for a least one-hundred twenty days, combat was not required. Roughly 7.8 million veterans had used the GI Bill education benefits

Bill was a major factor in the creation of the American middle class, but also substantially increased racial inequality because many of the benefits of the G.I. bill were not granted to soldiers of color. This is because "at the very moment when a wide array of public policies was providing most white Americans with valuable tools to advance their social welfare—insure their old age, get good jobs, acquire economic security, build assets, and gain middle-class status—most black Americans were left behind or left out.
