• For the longest time women weren’t given freedom of expression of any kind. They were expected to be wives and mothers and nothing more. Their fashion was bland and not flashy and their freedom of any kind was hindered greatly.
• Woman’s suffrage began to flourish to its higher purpose and give women the freedom and expression that they deserved.
• One method of this freedom was the entire aura of the “Flappers”
Explanation:
• This is an image of four women who were flappers at the time.
• You can see them wearing short skirts and exposure of their legs. This was at one time unacceptable for women.
• You can see them out on the town having a good time. This was also at one time unacceptable for women.
Reflecting the 20s:
• Flappers were an example of the freedom of women and their expressions.
• Times were changing and women weren’t expected to just be housewives.
• This reflects the partying element of the 1920s. The glamorous dance parties and the night life of women and men embodied the soul of the 1920s.]]> 2021-03-09 01:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285264316 danielr376 https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285323318 HC:
• Many African Americans were moving the great big cities for job opportunities and such. 
• This was titled the Great Migration and it brought lots of African Americans to an epicenter for the birth/rebirth of the musical and artistic traditions of African American culture.
• In New York specifically, this idea spread rapidly and created what we now know as the Harlem Renaissance.
Explanation:
• This picture shows an African American singing a song into a mic for what seems to be a crowd of people.
• Black people became very in tune with their own way and style of making songs. 
• You can see people like Billy Holiday and Duke Ellington taking the world by storm with their music.
Reflection of the 1920s:
• Singing was one of many examples of the Harlem Renaissance and its impact.
• Poetry, Photography, and a new style of artwork all flourished as well during these times.
• African Americans found their way of expressing feelings in artistic ways and sending a message to the masses. ]]> 2021-03-09 02:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285323318 danielr376 https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285343273 HC:
• When the 1920s came rolling in, many new inventions came into play that made life a lot better and easier for many people.
• A man named Henry Ford created an automobile called the Model T which went widespread across the country.
• The method for making this car was called the assembly line and it created easier production and better working conditions for the factory workers worldwide.
Explanation:
• This picture shows the assembly line itself. Many people, each assigned a different task in a repeating process.
• This method allowed products no matter what they were to be manufactured much better than before.
• This method made factory work a lot easier for the people working:
• This method created the 8 hour work day, 5 day work week norm in the world that most still use today.
Reflecting the 1920s:
• This method made the horrid working conditions we’ve seen in years past disappear bit by bit.
• It shows a new era of doing this better both for working and the manufacturing of products.
• It embodied the spirit of evolving from past methods that weren’t working so well. It modernized and set a path for the future.]]> 2021-03-09 02:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285343273 danielr376 https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285369343 HC:
• The Racist group by the name of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) was in hiding and quiet for quite some time.
• As seen in the Harlem Renaissance, many African Americans were beginning to truly embrace their freedom of expression and sending messages to the masses.
• The KKK returned in response to the evolving of the 1920s which posed a threat to their beliefs.
Explanation:
• This is a huge KKK rally taking place on a Main Street in Washington DC.
• The KKK is protesting the equality and freedom that minorities have been given in recent years.
• Many politicians who were rising high in the government were either in support or true members of the KKK.
• Over the course of the Roaring 20s the south and Midwest managed to develop millions of supporters of the KKK
Reflecting the 1920s:
• The changes of the 1920s (Harlem Renaissance, Women’s Suffrage, etc.) were scaring the KKK members and their racist and sexist thoughts.
• The KKK made their return in the 20s, so clearly this represents a part of the negative soul of the 1920s.
• This KKK emergence also embodies the soul of the Anti Immigration laws that were placed by racist KKK supporting government workers.]]> 2021-03-09 02:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285369343 danielr376 https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285396485 HC:
• The Prohibition (banning of alcohol legally) was placed in the laws and many people didn’t want to stop drinking.
• Mob Bosses and mafia families rose to power by supplying people with illegal alcohol and raising the crime that this prohibition was meant to eliminate.
• Government and Police were beginning to become corrupt from the mob bosses paying them. This still exists today and is very unethical.
Explanation:
• The man in this picture is Al Capone.
• He was the public enemy number one. 
• He was the biggest mob boss around that supplied people with lots of illegal alcohol.
• Capone and his men also participated in many other illegal activities.
Relation to the 1920s:
• It shows an increased amount of crime that was never meant to exist during this progressive era.
• It shows one of the direct negative effects of the prohibitions
• It started Organized crime. While very glorified by cinema, this is a big issue that still needs to be dealt with in today’s times. ]]> 2021-03-09 02:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285396485 danielr376 https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285416507 HC:
• Many women wanted alcohol banned because of the effects it had on their husbands and grown children.
• Many big businessmen felt that alcohol would distract workers from doing their job correctly and supported the ban.
• Many racists wanted alcohol gone because they felt it drove the crime of the minorities that they hate so deeply.
• Alcohol was banned by the government for these reasons.
Explanation:
• This picture shows people pouring large barrels of Alcohol into the sewers.
• This picture shows policemen enforcing the prohibition laws.
• This picture states that government initially took this law very seriously.
• This picture also shows the need for Organized Crime families to get their hands on alcohol because it was going away fast.
Relation to the 1920s:
• Speaksies began to develop behind the governments back which gave them less control over the general public.
• Organized Crime families began to rise above and create new ways of crime and corruption that didn’t exist before.
• This indirectly influences the Flappers and their expression because it was no longer low for a woman to drink alcohol.
• The economy was hurting badly because the alcohol industry had disappeared when it came to government relations.]]> 2021-03-09 02:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/danielr376/gwlw0yhtwifsi8r1/wish/1285416507
