The song "Ol' Man River" was a very popular song in the 1920's. It's theme centered around oppression with lyrics like "colored folk work while the white folk play". These lyrics tie back to the days of slavery and compare it to the days of the 1920's. Colored people still faced oppression as seen through lyrics like "Get a little drunk, and you land in jail". While slavery was ended, as this song shows, oppression still persisted and ran rampant.

During the first decade of the 20th century, a widespread temperance movement racked the nation. This movement was supported by women's rights organizations and was believed to drop the violence within the immigrant culture. This led to the 18th amendment which banned the manufacture, transportation, and sale of intoxicating labors. Enforcing this was difficult so the Volstead Act was enacted. Although this amendment was meant to lessen violence, it subsequently increased it as the bootlegging (illegal production and sale of liquor) business increased along with the operation of speakeasies (stores or nightclubs selling liquor), smuggling of alcohol across state lines, and the informal production of liquor (moonshine or bathtub gin). Crime activity associated with bootlegging rose with the most notorious example being Al Capone who made a fortune of 60 million through the operation of bootlegging and speakeasies.

Before this act, the 1917 Act was implemented that required literacy tests for all immigrants over the age of 16 and increased tax paid by new immigrants on their arrival. This act also excluded anyone born in the "Asiatic Barred Zone" (all Asians except for Filipinos and Japanese).

In 1921, Italian Americans, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, were convicted of robbery and murder and while all the accusations brought against them were disproved they were deemed guilty by the judge and jury. This is due mostly because they were well known anarchist radicals and because of the prejudice within the court, alongside some ballistic evidence, their final appeal was rejected and they were sentenced to death. A retrial conducted eventually concurred that Sacco and Vanzetti had not received a fair trial. Across the nation, many had supported these two men in that they weren't guilty. This trial is widely regarded as a miscarriage of justice in American legal history due to a conclusion based on faulty ballistic evidence
