People were breaking away from the status quo and times were changing.

There was lots of economic prosperity during the 1920s
People were very focused on 
"keeping up with the Jones"
People had more money to spend on things they wanted but did not need.
It was a time of great social conflict]]> 2017-10-24 16:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/francisj973/fnoutrot2c2k/wish/200068660 cameronp623 https://padlet.com/francisj973/fnoutrot2c2k/wish/200069243 2017-10-24 16:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/francisj973/fnoutrot2c2k/wish/200069243 francisj973 https://padlet.com/francisj973/fnoutrot2c2k/wish/200070816 Something called supply side economics was in full effect.
Taxes were cut for the upper class by close to 50%, and there was a tax cut on the middle class.
People had more expendable income because they were being taxed less.
Because they were spending more, the economy was doing well and so were big businesses. 
Businesses were able to pay their workers more which gave them even more expendable income. This helped the economy for the time being but was setting the United States up for a crash.]]> 2017-10-24 16:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/francisj973/fnoutrot2c2k/wish/200070816 cameronp623 https://padlet.com/francisj973/fnoutrot2c2k/wish/200071344 The economic opportunities of the era triggered a widespread migration of black Americans from the rural south to the industrial centers of the north - and especially to New York City. ]]> 2017-10-24 16:13:57 UTC https://padlet.com/francisj973/fnoutrot2c2k/wish/200071344 cameronp623 https://padlet.com/francisj973/fnoutrot2c2k/wish/200072500 There was a massive boom of interest in American Sports in the 1920s. For many Americans the 1920's was a period of prosperity. There was more time, and opportunity, for leisure in the industrialized towns and cities and organized sports developed. Massive sports stadiums were built such as the Yankee Stadium and Madison Square Garden. Rural Americans were also able to enjoy live sporting events that were broadcast across the nation via the radio. Newspapers and magazines added to the popularity of sports and there was newsreel coverage of sports at the movies. Mass advertising during popular sporting events promoted a vast range of new products in the consumer society of America.

Flappers were a generation of young Western women in the 1920s who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior. Flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking, treating sex in a casual manner, smoking, driving automobiles, and otherwise flouting social and sexual norms.^[1] Flappers had their origins in the liberal period of the Roaring Twenties, the social, political turbulence and increased transatlantic cultural exchange that followed the end of World War I, as well as the export of American jazz culture to Europe.
