These men goals were to have the government have little involvement in the business so the business could then develop into something bigger. That idea from Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover gained the attention of the laissez faire economic policy if the 19th century industrialization, an idea that businesses should not be regulated by the government. These ideas prove that the president and republican successor wanted business to become richer than others and wanted them to have the most money.]]> 2019-11-26 02:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/marley_chaplock091/3c0x2k8ddy1f/wish/416470925 marley_chaplock091 https://padlet.com/marley_chaplock091/3c0x2k8ddy1f/wish/416478727 The railroad industry became very helpful during the 1920s.

-Bright waistless dresses (an inch above knees)
- Skin-toned silk stockings
-Sleek pumps 
-Strings of beads replaced the dark and prim ankle- length dresses 
-Whalebone corsets
-Petticoats of victorian days

Flappers did this because they wanted to have the same equal rights as men. Things that men did women started to then participate in. They would smoke cigarettes and drink openly in public like men would do. These flappers also had some funky dances as well like the fox trot, camel walk, tango, charleston, and shimmy with abandon. Flappers also changed the view of marriage for them and men.
