Americanism in the 1920s 1007087 https://padlet.com/1007087/l2sprhnw3ptg/wish/154361532 In the 1920's, Americanism was mostly promoted by the Klu Klux Klan, who advocated white supremacy above all other races. The definition of Americanism according scholars is this ideology of "an articulation of the nation's rightful place in the world, a set of traditions, a political language, and a cultural style imbued with political meaning." In saying that, the Klu Klux Klan devoted themselves to "keeping their place" that they believed was rightfully theirs which lead to their underground campaign of violence against Republican leaders and voters to reverse the policies of Radical Reconstruction and to restore white supremacy.

Dr.Sigmund Freud stresses the importance of sexual drive, infantile sexuality, and sexual energy, saying that it is something that needs to be explored. Margaret Sanger believed that for complete woman independence and the ability to "explore" like Sigmund had said, is to create woman's birth control so that they would not have to fear having a child.

They had colorful parades and nonviolent protests, but the brutal attacks against them (making them starve, arresting them, putting them in jail, and tearing their banners) gave them enormous public support. In 1920, the 19th amendment was passed, allowing for women's suffrage. In 1922, she wrote the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), to win full equality for all women. It was passed by congress in 1972, but still three states short to ratification today.

In most cases, Sacco and Vanzetti were convicted because of their political beliefs and ethnic background illuminating the miscarriage of justice in American legal history. Their trial aroused intense controversy due to the fact that it was widely believed that the evidence against the men were flimsy, and that they were being prosecuted for their immigrant background and their radical political beliefs.

Although it brought people together, it also created division and racial attitudes. It was played in speakeasies which were illegal clubs that sold banned alcohol, making it appear as a huge problem. In addition, music was believed to be only for the highest of the white society, and since the lowest class brought Jazz, many wanted it to be banned, but it soon became popular all around the world. Some famous artists include Kid Ory: a famous jazz trombone player on high demand in the 1920s, The King Oliver jazz band was the most popular in the 1920s, and Bix Beiderbeck who was the most famour trumpet player in the 1920s.

Some major contributors include Aaron Douglas, who was a notable artist during the Harlem Renaissance. He produced illustrations for both The Crisis and Opportunity, the two most important magazines associated with the Harlem Renaissance. Then there was Charles Henry Alston, who was an African-American painter, sculptor, illustrator, muralist, and teacher who lived and worked in Harlem. Alston was the first African-American supervisor for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project.

"The Lost Generation" 10156551 https://padlet.com/1007087/l2sprhnw3ptg/wish/155040727 The "Lost Generation" (post world war 1 generation) refers specifically to ex-patriot writers who left the United States to take part in the literary culture of cities such as Paris and London during the 1920s. This group, including Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and T. S. Eliot, was skeptical about out-moded traditional forms of literary and artistic work, but optimistic about the potential of new forms. Its members were prolific writers and many produced classics. The term stems from a remark made by Gertrude Stein to Ernest Hemingway, “You are all a lost generation.” Hemingway used it as an epigraph to 'The Sun Also Rises' (1926), a novel that captures the attitudes of a hard-drinking, fast-living set of disillusioned young expatriates in postwar Paris. They were lost in that the values that its members were being taught didn't fit the reality of life after the brutal and horrifying World War I. The group of writers who moved to Paris believed that America was intolerant, materialistic, and unspiritual. They helped to establish many of the styles and themes that are still used in literature today. They favored youthful idealism, love affairs, drinking, the meaning of life, and rejected modern american materialism. ]]> 2017-02-21 01:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/1007087/l2sprhnw3ptg/wish/155040727 21.

Harding's promise was to return the United States prewar mentality, without the thought of war tainting the minds of the American people and to return to Big Business. To sum it up, he states that "America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality." He also succeeded by promising to end the highly emotional debates of the Wilson years, and promising realism instead of idealism in foreign policy.

After this was declared, churches in America debates whether or not to accept the finding of modern science and by the 1920s, most were able to reconcile with Darwin's theory however some preferred a stricter interpretation. In 1925, the Tennessee legislature passed the Butler Law that forbade the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution in any public school or university, leading to the American Civil Liberties Union leading a charge of evolution's supporters. John T. Scopes, a science teacher and football teacher, accepted the challenge to any Tennessee teacher willing to fight the law in court. He read a part of the the textbook, Hunter's Civic Biology, that included the evolution of humankind and Darwin's theory of natural selection; he was then arrested and a trial date was set. This trial created a media circus and was a complete showdown between Darwinism and fundamentalism; it had an immediate impact on public schools and highlighted the growing fundamentalist movement, as well as the changing American culture.]]> 2017-02-21 03:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1007087/l2sprhnw3ptg/wish/155052924 9.

Many blamed Hoover for the Great Depression of 1929, but in reality, it was also the work of the previous presidents before him that are also major contributors. Hoover formed a new alliance between business and government, and when the Great Depression Began, Hoover did not stand idly by. To fight the rapidly worsening depression, Hoover extended the size and scope of the federal government in six major areas: (1) federal spending, (2) agriculture, (3) wage policy, (4) immigration, (5) international trade, and (6) tax policy. In comparison to Hoover, Coolidge believed that the nation needed fewer programs while Hoover created multiple programs for the sake of solving the Great Depression. All three presidents focused on cutting taxes and raising tariffs.

He is famous for this quote, "The man who builds a factory builds a temple; the man who works there worships there, and to each is due, not scorn or blame, but reverence and praise," which portrays the America's overconfidence towards business and how they put great value on businessmen.

This political cartoon by Rollin Kirby (1875 - 1952) was published in the New York World, a popular news publication in the twenties, shortly after prohibition began in January 16th 1919. In “Merry Christmas” Kirby shows Mr. Dry, a character he invented himself to mock prohibition, spraying Santa in the face with alcohol. The title suggests this was a way of sarcastically saying “Merry Christmas” to Americans, many of whom opposed prohibition, because the law was passed shortly after the holidays. “Merry Christmas” was satirizing the prohibition movement and was meant to be laughed at by Americans who would most likely agree bitterly with the portrayal. They would agree because it was true that this act was a slap in the face of most Americans who thought of drinking as a common part of life but they would be bitter because even though the cartoon expressed the opinions of most, it did not change the fact that alcohol was illegal to make and sell

They helped highlight the idea of fame and celebrity, like Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, etc. Movies were able to harden a deeper belief of the time of self-love, as individuals were able to look at the screen, grow desires and make wishes upon it, and even find themselves in it. Since they were able to be consumed by people at large, it helped feed the belief that the 1920s was a decade of self glorification and projection of self.
