Hallmarks of the 1920’s Closing the gates of Immigration New Social Patterns WWI Generation The New Woman Golden Age of Sports Urban v. Rural The Emergence of the KKK Economic Explosion: Age of Consumerism

Xenophobia (fear of foreigners) took hold after WWI: Congress installed quotas: such as these Italian quota = Italian-origin population, ,000 White population, 1920 Italian quota = 3,800, ,000 95,500,000 Italian quota=6,000

Widespread prejudice against Eastern and Southeastern Europeans. They were given very low numbers of the total immigration allowed, which was 3% of the population in a given year or in ,000. By 1929 Congress capped immigration at 150,000! We went from a melting pot to an ice cube.

1920-saw a new trend…for the first time in our history more people lived in urban areas than on rural farms. This transformed America in the following ways: Educational opportunities Family life Widening gap between rich and poor Tensions between urban and rural (Scopes Trial) Etc…

WWI impacted the world in different ways, but one way it had in common was the creation of a generation of people who were hopeless and pessimistic. They tended to look at politics and government with disappointment and held these types of things to blame for all that happened and would happen.

American women changed. They adopted new fashions and attitudes. They had been liberated and given the right to vote. They started to take on more aggressive personality traits. They advocated new technologies like birth control (Margaret Sanger) More women were divorcing More women were working outside the home and attending college 1920: 8.2 million were working outside home; 1925: 10.6 million!

After the War, sports surged in popularity. This was due in large part to a surge in great athletes that captured America’s attention.

Highlighted by a widening gap in how race and religion were viewed. Events like the Scottsboro trial and Scopes Trial divided America.

Urban America was in favor of a repeal of the 18 th amendment. The rural communities tended to be more orthodox in their religious views and didn’t appreciate such ideas. “Corn belt versus conveyer belt” Social results? Social costs?
