It was the victorian fashion which created a strict moral climate.
They didn’t have many rights, so their liberties were restricted.
Before the start of World War 1, the Gibson girls were very popular. 
 In 1920, fashions and things changed drastically. Women got the right to vote and to show their knees, which amazed some men. They were not afraid anymore of showing their body and expressing their opinion.

Due to this important amount of foreigners coming in the States, the congress passed a law in 1924. This was the immigration law. It was supposed to reduce or to end the flow.]]> 2018-01-02 17:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218369619 A law that favored the entry of immigrants depending on their origins gabrielle_artru https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218375989 The "Johnson-Reed act" or the immigration act of 1924 favored or limited the immigrants' entry depending on their home-country.
White people with English or German backgrounds had more facilities to enter in the States, rather than Southern Europeans, Slavs and Jews who weren't welcome. Only a hundred Chinese and Africans people were allowed to move to the United States.]]> 2018-01-02 18:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218375989 The immigration act gabrielle_artru https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218378242 2018-01-02 18:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218378242 Consequences of the immigration gabrielle_artru https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218382576 The always raising amount of immigrants led to racial hatred and violence towards the foreigners. It also caused the coming back of Ku Klux Klan in the 20's and its spreading into the North. It had 4,5 million members in 1924.]]> 2018-01-02 18:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218382576 The hidden face of the Roaring Twenties gabrielle_artru https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218404443 The Jazz Age, or the Roaring Twenties always looks like a fun time with jazz, parties, Ford T, flappers, cabarets… but it was mostly due to the fact this period came right after the end of a wave of rebellion. In 1919, many strikes occurred because people wanted higher wages (the leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World were in jail, so people had to express themselves in another way). When the 20's started the strikes were beaten down by force and the economy just well enough to prevent mass rebellion. The unemployment was down and the workers' wages went up. Although most of the wealth was detained by a few people at the top of the society's pyramid.
The tenant famers in the countryside and the immigrants who couldn't find a job lived in poverty in unsafe buildings and couldn't earn enough for basic needs.]]> 2018-01-02 21:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218404443 Society in the States during the Roaring Twenties gabrielle_artru https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/218945185 The society of the US in 1920 changed a lot. The States were the first power of world thanks to second industrial revolution. Women gained the right to vote. So their condition became better, they could express themselves more. Although the result of the elections stayed the same : only the women from the middle and upper class voted, but they voted for the same parties than the men. Still it helped them to ask for the equality between men and women later.

Therefor, women gained more power by working in factories. 
When men returned in the States, the society had changed. Women didn't have a few of liberty like before, on the contrary they had taken a place in society and were more free.
Almost a whole generation of men was dead in this war, so the population of women was the most important in the United States.
Women didn't want to return to the time when they hadn't any liberties, they wanted to be free and have fun during their lives. So the "flappers" appeared, showing their bodies and voting.

They had short dress (that showed their knees), short hair (almost a men like haircut), and loved dancing (Charleston, Black Bottom...). They also smoked. They drank alcohol even though drinking alcohol was forbidden during the 20's.
Flappers were free and single women.

The prices for stocks were rising fast and higher than it ever got. Therefor people thought it will continue to rise and invested money in stocks by buying them. People borrowed money from the banks and banks used people's money to buy stocks too. When the stocks' price were going up there wasn't any problem but when the boom ended with a crash, it started to be the mayhem.]]> 2018-01-10 10:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/220090955 Did you say "crash" ? gabrielle_artru https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/220095907 In 1929, the boom ended with a crash. The value of stocks started to drop, so people sold their stocks because their were scared that it will continue to go down. But… it made the stocks' value drop even faster. Banks couldn't collect the loans people had taken to buy stocks. It led to another problem : people couldn't withdraw their money from the banks. The economy entered in a severe crisis period. It was the stock crash market. And this stock crash market led to the Great Depression.

More than five thousands banks and  thousands of businesses closed. Businesses had to laid off workers and cut the wages of others to stay open. In 1933, about 15 millions people were unemployed.
The craziest stuff was that there were millions of tons of food, but their prices were too high for people to buy them. So people just starved and the food rotted.
Just before the crash, Herbert Hoover (the president of the USA from 1929 to 1933) said : "We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land".]]> 2018-01-10 10:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_artru/btzogsm6c54k/wish/220101084
