Answer

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956

Explanation

The question is asking about a historical event or period that resulted in increased consumer spending and the creation of the Interstate Highway System. The Interstate Highway System was established in the United States in 1956 under the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. This act was signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The system was designed to connect major cities across the country and facilitate commerce and military transport. The construction of the Interstate Highway System led to increased consumer spending as it improved transportation and made goods and services more accessible to people across the country.
