Republicans kept taxes low so Americans could spend their wages In the 1920s, Republican presidents were elected (Harding, Coolidge, Hoover) who helped America “return to normalcy” by using pro-business policies Republicans kept taxes low so Americans could spend their wages Republican presidents kept government interference in business to a minimum to allow private enterprise to flourish

The USA was the wealthiest and most developed country in the world. Industrial growth led to high wages for workers and cheap products for Americans to buy Cheap credit,high wages,new consumer goods and forms of entertainment called the Roaring Twenties

Henry Ford’s mass production techniques made automobiles affordable for many Americans

The 1920s led to an era of mass entertainment in movies, music, and sports

What do these images reveal about America in the 1920s?

By 1920, more people lived in cities than in rural areas due to the industrial revolution, mass immigration, and jobs during World War I

The dominance of urban America divided society The values of these 2 societies clashed in the 1920s Urban society was characterized by diversity, consumerism, freedom, entertainment Rural society was characterized by religious fundamentalism, nativism, and tradition

1920s: Consumerism

The 1920s saw a burst of personal prosperity and consumer spending Mass production led to a huge number of new products: Cars, electric appliances, new fashions Companies offered ways for consumers to buy on credit through monthly installment plans Advertising boomed to convince people to spend their money

1920s: Harlem Renaissance

The Great Migration during WWI led to a concentration of African Americans in northern cities

The Harlem Renaissance was the flourishing of black culture Jazz blended African and European musical traditions into a distinctly “American” style of music Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were popular jazz musicians

The most popular author was Langston Hughes, who wrote poems and novels about black pride

Harlem represented the “New Negro”: the idea that African Americans should freely express themselves, embrace their culture, and strive for equality

Many young, unmarried women embraced their independence and sexuality as “flappers”

…had sex outside of marriage and dated boys without chaperones “Flappers” popularized new women’s fashions like shorter hemlines, “bobbed” hair, and hats Young women shocked traditional-minded women by smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, dancing at clubs, using makeup… …had sex outside of marriage and dated boys without chaperones

1920s: Literature

The 1920s produced some of America’s most important literature The “Lost Generation” authors including T.S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald rejected war and criticized 1920 consumerism and conformity

1920s: Sports

Baseball, boxing, and football were popular sports Sports was a popular form of entrainment in the 1920s as Americans gained more leisure time and income Baseball, boxing, and football were popular sports Radio broadcasts brought sporting events to national audiences

Tin Pan Alley produced 90% of the popular music in the 1920s, focusing on ragtime, dance music, and jazz American Popular Music had arrived! Within a year, Irving Berlin published "Alexander’s Ragtime Band," which mixed the popular beat of the day along with the legend of Ragtime. The song gave Tin Pan Alley its crowning achievement and Berlin his first million. The song also changed the way America listened to music, "Alexander’s Ragtime Band" has often been credited, in part, for the increase in the sales of radios and phonographs, both rather new to the buying public. Soon the attention of Tin Pan Alley shifted from Ragtime to other popular topics such as dances (The Charleston, the Fox Trot) and other music forms (Blues, jazz). Towards the end of World War I, Tin Pan Alley’s publishing companies moved closer to the Broadway and vaudeville districts. Once the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) was formed, Tin Pan Alley became a mega force in popular music, producing over 90% of the commercial songs and inspiring the sales of millions of copies of both sheet music and 78 recordings. Irving Berlin was the most popular of the ragtime composers of the 1920s
