Art

The nation's serious artists had a different and darker view of society. They were troubled deeply by the changes they saw. They believed that Americans had become too interested in money and wealth.

Artists rejected the new business society. And they also questioned the value of politics.

Economic growth gave many Americans the money to buy art for their homes for the first time.

Period marked the real birth of modern American art.

The changes in American society caused many of these artists much sadness and pain in their personal lives. But their expression of protest and rich imagination produced a body of work that has grown in influence with the passing years.

Writings/Poetry

Books in the 1920's were common to be written about rich Americans searching for happiness and new values.

Authors wrote about love, war, sports, and other subjects. They used short sentences and rough words. Their style was sharper and different from traditional American writing.

Movies

The early silent movies were often accompanied by live piano or organ music and provided enormous entertainment value to audiences everywhere.

When movie theaters were introduced they brought many people together in large groups for paid entertainment for one of the first times in 1920.

Radio

Radio became a product of the mass market.

Manufacturers were overwhelmed by the demand for receivers, as customers stood in line to complete order forms for radios after dealers had sold out.

The radio station experienced immediate popularity and continued to be a favorite around the U.S.

Sports

Unprecedented publicity and promotion included baseball, tennis, golf, swimming, football and boxing.

Newspapers, magazines, radio and movies all played a role in boosting the profile of sport and the sporting stars.

Sports that had up until that time been largely amateur events caught the eye of promoters who could see an opportunity to make money.

Media publicity ensured large crowds and guaranteed the financial success of the ventures, allowing new stadiums to be built and providing steadily increasing salaries for the sports stars.

Women and Controversies

Flappers are less conservative and more revealing.

In the 1920's the 19th amendment passed giving women the right to vote. Giving them voice in government and help in economic power.

Women are the target of advertisers for mostly all household products and still to this day.

Women cut their hair short, wore short skirts, and went dancing for fun which was against old traditions.

Fundamentalism, Scopes trial

John Scopes arrested for teaching evolution in public schools. Became a media circus known as the "monkey trail". It offended many people because it goes against the bible using scientific evidence to support evolution and scared people because it contradicted the bible.

Fundamentalism is the demand for a strict adherence to specific theological doctrines usually understood as a reaction against modernism, primarily to promote the continue of old traditions and cultures.

Prohibition, Organized crime

Prohibition was created when the 18th amendment in 1920 prohibited alcohol.

Prohibition stimulated the underground economy and created many jobs for criminals such as smugglers.

This increased crime because gangs competed in turf wars for prime market control to sell their illegal goods.

Ku-Klux-Klan

A white supremacy clan who believe in white nationalism, and anti immigration.

Their anti-group specific actions are typically expressed through terrorism.

Klan violence worked to suppress black voting.

The clan was created in a effort to control the dramatically changed social situation by using extrajudicial means to restore white supremacy.

Nativism, Immigration

Nativism is the demanding of a favored status for certain established inhabitants of a nation as compared to claims of newcomers or immigrants.

Nativism typically means opposition to immigration and support of efforts to lower the political or legal status of specific ethnic or cultural groups because the groups are considered hostile or alien to the natural culture.

Immigration scared the public and government for many reasons concerning politics, job availability, majority, new cultures, ect.

Nativists believed that only the old ways are the right way, and don't want any input on new cultures so this created a lot of tension between cultures.

Nativists and labor unions campaigned for immigration restriction.
