Social and Cultural Tensions

How did modernism and traditionalism mix? By the 1920’s, education became more of a fixture for American children  increased high school graduation by 1930 Fundamentalism is the belief in a literal interpretation of the Bible Fundamentalists questioned scientific discoveries and theories as they create contradictions with their beliefs Rejected Darwin’s theory of evolution

Tennessee passed a law in 1925 banning the teaching of Darwin’s theory of evolution in the state’s public schools John Scopes challenged the law by teaching evolution in class  was arrested The American Civil Liberties Union hired Charles Darrow to defend Scopes while William Jennings Bryan (fundamentalist) acted as prosecutor Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 The Scopes Trial was about the role of science and religion in public schools and in society Showed major flaws in fundamentalism

How did immigration change in the 1920’s? Anti-immigrant sentiments grew during the 20’s and especially during and immediately following the Red Scare A quota system was placed on immigration via the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and National Origins Act of 1924 Severely limited not only European immigrants but Asian immigrants as well The quota system did not apply to Mexicans and other Latin-American immigrants

The New KKK The Red Scare and extreme anti-immigrant sentiment led to the revival of the Ku Klux Klan Despised anything not white American Membership reached 4.5 million by 1924 Targeted Jews, Catholics, blacks, and immigrants Organizations like the NAACP and the Jewish Anti-Defamation League battled against the KKK

How did the banning of alcohol change society? Temperance reformers had tried to impose an alcohol ban since the earl 1800’s Support increased heavily after WWI Many rural areas were dry unlike urban areas With religious groups speaking out against alcohol and reformers thinking government should protect public health, the 18th Amendment was ratified in 1919 The federal government could not enforce the new law

Underground saloons and speakeasies opened to continue providing alcohol to those who wanted it  illegal Speakeasies were special clubs with membership (password or showing of an item) Bootleggers illegally transported alcohol from hidden stills Consumption of alcohol did decrease People started breaking the law in order to obtain alcohol Rise of criminals and gangs  Al Capone 21st Amendment (1933) repealed prohibition
