Listening to the radio created a fun experience to bring families and neighborhoods together to share an experience. 

Radios introduced a new form of an american enterprise commercial vessel. 

The radio created an amazing new way to experience several things from sports events to politicians speaking, and music. Creating an educational and culture machine for our society.

  • The film industry in its earliest ages were very controversial way to share news and portray the past. 

    • “This industry must have toward that sacred thing, the mind of a child,
    toward that clean virgin thing, that unmarked slate, the same responsibility,
              the same care about the impressions made upon it, that the best clergyman
    r the most inspired teacher of youth would have.”

    • The industry and things that were shown in the movies were very vulgar, showing nudity and sexual scenes. While also very violent and aggressive ways of the director sharing their opinions on current political issues. For example the portrayal of certain races, and one movie saying ‘hang the kaiser” serving as propaganda against the Germans.

  • This was a time for America where people were trying new things, not just simply doing the usual approaches and as people would expect.
  • For example the way a director categorized his film as a silent piece but actually had the main character speak in it, branching out and trying to be different. 
  • People were being slightly more independent and expressing Themselves how they felt they should be represented. Standing up for themselves in the new ways that were acceptable, like the women standing up for birth control, or the black man in power representing himself and his race.

  • With the new era coming about after the war, the old ways were halting with literature as an art too.
  • People who were young and of different races were becoming some of the new popular literature writers in this time.
  • People were intrigued and excited how there was more diversity in the different ways that the america life and culture was being portrayed. Showing a new side or perspective of the american life that isn’t the one of the usual white new englender. 
  • This was liberating to several races who related to these new viewpoints, which expired them and brought a new way of life in America for different races.

  • The way of the stock market was becoming very popular in the American economy during this time of rebirth almost for our country.
  • People absolutely adored this concept of nothing for something and they all jumped on it at once.
  • Seeing it as an opportunity to get ‘from rags to riches’ people became very ‘bullish’ meaning that they were very aggressive and went all in.
  • One reason this may be was because people were found on the of the term ‘never sell America short’, meaning that the people were betting their money on America, and since all Americans love america, the stock economy boomed because of this.

    Americans thought the labor problems were Russia's fault 
    In 1919–1920 a number of legislatures, reflecting the anxiety of “solid” citizens, passed criminal syndicalism laws
    The target of this terrorist attack seemed to be the offices of the haughty financier J.P. Morgan, but no person or group claimed responsibility for the blast, and the victims were random financial district employees, not the moguls of Wall Street.
    “Sacco and Vanzetti” came from bombings
    The case dragged on for six years until 1927, when the condemned men were electrocuted. 
    Communists and other radicals were thus presented with two martyrs in the “class struggle,” while many American liberals hung their heads.

    It was antiforeign, anti-Catholic, antiblack, anti-Jewish, anti pacifist, anti-Communist, anti-internationalist, anti-evolutionist, anti bootlegger, anti gambling, anti adultery, and anti–birth control. It was also pro–Anglo-Saxon, pro–“native” American, and pro-Protestant.
    This reign of hooded horror, so repulsive to the best American ideals, collapsed rather suddenly in the late 1920s.
    Despite the Klan’s decline, civil rights activists fought in vain for legislation making lynching a federal crime, as lawmakers feared alienating southern white voters.

    The Immigration Act of 1924 placed strict quotas on European immigrants and completely shut out the Japanese.
    In 1965 legislation capped the level of immigration at 170,000 per year but made exceptions for children, spouses, and parents of persons already arrived.

    Federal agents gloat over a captured still in Dayton, Ohio, in 1930. “Moonshiners,” or makers of illegal liquor, enjoyed a boom during prohibition, though zealous government agents put the owner of this makeshift distillery out of business somewhat
    prohibitionists were naive in the extreme. They overlooked the tenacious American tradition of strong drink and of weak control by the central government
    Prohibition might have started off on a better foot if there had been a larger army of enforcement officials. But the state and federal agencies were understaffed, and their snoopers, susceptible to bribery, were underpaid.

    He was reported as saying, “Everybody calls me a racketeer. I call myself a businessman. When I sell liquor, it’s bootlegging. When my patrons serve it on a silver tray on Lake Shore Drive, it’s hospitality.” He was finally jailed in 1932 for falsifying his income-tax returns.
    Gangsters rapidly moved into other profitable and illicit activities: prostitution, gambling, and drugs. Honest merchants were forced to pay “protection money” to the organized thugs; otherwise, their windows would be smashed, their trucks overturned, or their employees or themselves beaten up.
