3 Changing Ways of Life During the 1920s, urbanization continued to accelerate. For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than in rural areas. New York City was home to over 5 million people in Chicago had nearly 3 million.

4 Cities were impersonal
Urban vs. Rural Throughout the 1920s, Americans found themselves caught between urban and rural cultures. Urban life was considered a world of anonymous crowds, strangers, money-makers, and pleasure seekers. Rural life was considered to be safe, with close personal ties, hard work, and morals. Cities were impersonal Farms were friendly

5 Age of Prosperity Economic expansion Mass Production Assembly Line
Age of the Automobile

6 Age of Prosperity an agricultural depression in early 1920's contributed to this urban migration U.S. farmers lost agriculture markets postwar During this time agricultural efficiency increased so more food produced (more food = lower prices) and fewer laborers needed farming was no longer as prosperous, and bankers called in their loans (farms repossessed) American farmers entered the Depression prior to the rest of society

7 Age of Prosperity Many African Americans in this time period continued to live in poverty boll weevil wiped out the cotton crop white landowners went bankrupt & forced African Americans off their land

8 Age of Prosperity African Americans moved north to take advantage of booming wartime industry = Great Migration

Large Corporations formed Small Corporations went out of business The Big Three remained –Ford, General Motors and Chrysler Auto Company’s in 1920s = America’s largest business

13 Changes in Work Assembly line decreased skilled labor jobs
Shorter workdays & higher wages Frederick W. Taylor and scientific management –created “white collar” management jobs Power of Labor Unions decreased

14 Domestic change Housewives – reduced # of housekeepers and delivery people – took over the jobs with electrical appliances and autos

15 Creating Consumers “To keep America growing we must keep America working, and to keep America working we must keep them wanting; wanting more than the bare necessities; wanting the luxury and frills that make life so much more worthwhile, and installment selling makes it easier to keep Americans wanting.”
