The African Americans wanted to escape the heavily segregated South, so they moved north in search of equal opportunity.]]> 2018-01-02 20:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218397467 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218398625 2018-01-02 20:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218398625 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218399583 African American performers and musicians popularized black culture during this period by showing others in society what they could do. Jazz music quickly became the most popular music to dance to, and the African Americans proved that they were highly skilled. Since Jazz music had an entirely different sound that nobody had heard before, the people who were not familiar with black culture couldn't get enough of it.]]> 2018-01-02 20:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218399583 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218626037 2018-01-03 19:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218626037 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218632174 The automobile changed American life greatly by making life easier on those who purchased them. People were able to travel much faster via paved roads and Route 66. Route 66 made it easier for people to travel west from Chicago to California. The sudden want for cars impacted businesses- gasoline stations, repair shops, public garages, motels, tourist camps, and shopping centers started being built rapidly. This affected the railroads because people owned their own automobiles, which caused the need for public transportation to diminish.]]> 2018-01-03 20:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218632174 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218632245 The airplane industry started as a mail carrying service for the United States Post Office. The airplane then became a peacetime means of transportation, replacing the railroads. Planes also affected businesses because companies, such as the Lockheed Company, produced planes. Passenger flights also offered people another option in means of traveling. ]]> 2018-01-03 20:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218632245 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218633343 Credit played multiple roles in the American economy in the 1920's. Mass advertising basically lured people into buying things they didn't need. For example, mouthwash was advertised as a necessity because it helped against halitosis- bad breath. Bad breath could've been taken care of by brushing your teeth, therefore making mouthwash unnecessary, but it was advertised as a necessity. Electrical conveniences included gasoline being readily available, alternating electrical currents, and electrified households. ]]> 2018-01-03 20:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218633343 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218635717 The installment plan fueled the superficial prosperity by allowing people to buy goods over an extended period of time without having to give a lot of money at the time of purchase. This resulted in people believing that the prosperity would last forever.]]> 2018-01-03 20:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218635717 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218636072 Farmers didn't do well in the 1920's because while others were gaining electrical conveniences, the farms still lacked power.]]> 2018-01-03 20:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218636072 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218837841 2018-01-04 19:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218837841 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218839116 Britain and France were given two ways that they could pay back the United States the $10 million they borrowed; they could either sell goods to the United States, or they could collect reparations from Germany. They decided to sell goods to the United States, but Harding's tax policy on imports made it impossible for Britain and France to sell enough goods in the U.S. to repay debts. ]]> 2018-01-04 19:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218839116 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218841502 2018-01-04 20:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218841502 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218842484 Through this plan, investors from America loaned Germany $2.5 billion in order to pay back Britain and France on an annual basis.]]> 2018-01-04 20:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218842484 sarah_schwark880 https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218845009 The Teapot Dome scandal, which came as a result of the government setting aside oil-rich public lands, hurt Harding's presidency. Members of Harding's cabinet, people that the president trusted, tricked the people and bribed companies for their own personal gain. This hurt Harding's reliability, as well as his cabinet's, in the eyes of the citizens.]]> 2018-01-04 20:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_schwark880/ybkgr20qpycp/wish/218845009
