But the cars were invented and began to become en mass by the 1920's already. That's when the car revolution was beginning. And it wasn't just Moses, the tire/car manufacturers also had LOTS to do with this. People's attitudes were changing once cars began to become affordable to the average person. Better roads became a necessity once that began. If someone could finally afford a car and drive between point a and point b, why would they want to sit on a train instead?He was not "defining" it, he saw what was coming. Blame the inventors of cars then, or those that made them affordable. Again, you are taking TODAYS attitudes, and trying to place them into another era. Once again, Hindsight is 20/20, and even so, most people would never go back to a time when personal cars didn't rule. |
