National System of Interstate and Defense Highways  

Definición

  • The modern American interstate system, so crucial to the development of suburbs and the internal mobility of Americans, had its origins in defense. In 1919, Dwight Eisenhower, then a lieutenant colonel, participated in the Transcontinental Motor Convoy, designed to test how readily the Army could move military resources overland from one coast to another.
