Many African Americans moved north simply because they could finally get a job! Many were successful in doing so. By the end of the decade, 5.2 million of the nation's 12 million African Americans -over 40% -lived in the cities.  ]]> 2016-12-13 19:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/143468563 sara_welch845 https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/144350424 African American performers and musicians popularized the black culture by mostly using music, but also through acting and literature! Jazz was born in the early 20th century in New Orleans, where many musicians blended instrumental ragtime and vocal blues into an exuberant new sound. A Jazz band with the name "Creole" traveled north to Chicago carrying Jazz with them, which inspired a trumpet player (Louis Armstrong) to join this group which rocketed Louis stardom in the jazz world. Jazz had spread quickly through many cities such as Kansas City, Memphis, and New York and had became very popular for the music for dancing.  ]]> 2016-12-19 17:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/144350424 sara_welch845 https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/144350938  The automobile was one of the most popular pieces of technology during the 1920's to the 1970's. It was the backbone of the American economy, and helped many people and businesses. Automobiles had given more people reduced taxes, and reduced taxes = more money!  And more cars = more wages rising because of the new technology being made.  Route 66 was a very popular route to take by people trekking west from Chicago to California which made changes to landscape, architectural styles and also changed the houses typically that came with equipped garage or carport and driveway. There were businesses such as gasoline stations, repair shops, public garages, motels, tourist camps, driveways and many more. As a result, many people didn't use the railroad industry as much as they used to, technology had changed and so did the views of the people.

The airplane industry had began by first mail carrying for the U.S Post Office. The first flight in 1918 was quite the disaster, but there was a number of successful flights. With the development of weather forecasting planes very soon began carrying radios and navigational instruments.  During this time as the technology for airplanes were advancing so were the actual airplanes. Many people created different designs or airplanes from all sizes/shapes/weights etc. But that had also affected the railroad industry too. Many products/goods were sent by railroad and since the technology has advanced many of those goods and products can be shipped even faster by air, unlike the trains they can ship overseas in a matter of hours/days. ]]> 2017-01-10 00:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146146205 sara_welch845 https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146147380 Industry provided many ways of luring consumers to purchase lots of goods produced each year. The installment plan enabled people to buy goods over an extended period without having to put down too much money at the time of purchase. Many banks had provided money at a low interest rate. But many Americans focused their attention on the present, with all of the technology and economic changes. But the installment plan fueled a superficial prosperity because everything was bought with credit! Many farmers and businesses lost their jobs in the 1920's because they were producing things that there was too much of and the prices had went down over time.]]> 2017-01-10 01:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146147380 sara_welch845 https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146149048 The tax protected U.S. businesses from foreign competition but made it impossible for Britain and France to sell enough goods in the U.S to repay debts. When it came to Britain and France to pay back the $10 billion to the US that they had borrowed. They could either sell goods to the US or by collecting reparations from Germany. But in 1922, America had adopted the Fordney- McCumber Tariff wich had raised tasex on some US imports to 60% (the highest level ever) but it was nearly impossible for Britain and France to sell enough goods in the US to repay the debts. The countries had looked to Germany which was experiencing horrible inflation at the time and when Germany defaulted (or failed to make pay), the French troops marched in. But to avoid another war, the American banker Charles G. Dawes was sent to negotiate the loans, which is known as the Dawes Plan. American investors loaned Germany $2.5 billion to pay back the British and French with annual payments on a fixed scale. Harding's friends had damaged his administration greatly, they would use their offices to become very wealthy. And the Teapot Scandal was in affect during the administration involving the granting of oil-drilling rights on the government land in return for money. ]]> 2017-01-10 01:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146149048 sara_welch845 https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146316174 2017-01-10 17:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146316174 sara_welch845 https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146316925 2017-01-10 17:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146316925 sara_welch845 https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146320267 Jazz Age (Louis Armstrong)]]> 2017-01-10 17:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_welch845/i25dmy2aw3nh/wish/146320267
