Were the 1920s really roaring? The Roaring 20s Were the 1920s really roaring?

Post War War leaves Americans exhausted; debate over League divides them Economy adjusting: cost of living doubles; farm, factory orders down - soldiers take jobs from women, minorities - farmers, factory workers suffer. Nativism—prejudice against foreign-born people—sweeps nation Isolationism—pulling away from world affairs—becomes popular

Communism Communism—economic, political system, single-party government - ruled by dictator - no private property Anarchists oppose any form of government

Sacco & Vanzetti Red Scare feeds fear of foreigners, ruins reputations, wrecks lives 1920, Sacco and Vanzetti, Italian immigrants, anarchists, arrested - charged with robbery, murder - trial does not prove guilt Jury finds them guilty; widespread protests in U.S., abroad - Sacco, Vanzetti executed 1927

City Life Why are people moving to the cities? Cities offered movie theaters and vaudeville houses Vaudeville: Eddie Cantor Accomplishment and intelligence is important in city life Drinking, gambling and casual dating – all ok!

Prohibition January 1920 – 18th Amendment Manufacturing, sale, and transportation of alcohol is ILLEGAL Liquor was thought to lead to crime, abuse, work injuries, Why will immigrants and soldiers returning from WWI find the 18th amendment difficult? The Volstead Act – enforcement of tracking illegal stills Underpaid federal agents made this job impossible

Speakeasies & Bootleggers Drinkers met secretly in clubs called Speakeasies Everyone spoke quietly, or “easy”, not to get caught To get in: need a password or card Mixture of people – lower & upper class, men & women People learned how to make their own liquor Bootleggers – smuggle from Canada and Caribbean Speakeasy Tour: Chicago & NYC

Organized Crime Organized crime rises in every city in the country Al Capone – Chicago gangster created an empire through the liquor business Killed off competition

The Scopes Trial Fundamentalists – against scientific knowledge only find important info in the Bible 1925 – Tennessee passes law against teaching evolution John Scopes is a Biology teachers – challenges Scopes Trial – evolution and role of science v. religion in public schools Should religion determine law?
