Introduction/Overview

August 26, 1920, 19 th Amendment ratified -women could vote!!! Women who worked during WWI wanted to keep working

Idea of femininity changed Young women were called flappers Wore shorter skirts and dresses Had short, bobbed hair make-up was in women smoked, drank, and danced all night without chaperones

The Charleston was the dance craze Jazz was popular type of music in the clubs. One of most famous clubs was Cotton Club in Harlem. Popular musicians included: Duke Ellington Louis Armstrong

Members of the temperance movement blamed alcohol for many of society’s ills. Members wanted prohibition, stating it would stop husbands from spending all the family income on alcohol. On January 20, 1920, the 18 th Amendment was ratified. It prohibited the sale and manufacture of alcohol – it did not, however, mention anything about the actual drinking of alcohol.

 Prohibition led to organized crime  A new breed of gangster arose during this period.  Gangsters took notice of the amazingly high level of demand for alcohol within society and the extremely limited avenues of supply to the average citizen.

Popular gangsters included Scarface Al Capone, “Bugs” Moran, Baby Face Nelson, and Frank Nitty Capone - “Public Enemy No. 1,” arrested and sent to Alcatraz

 Gangsters hired men to smuggle in rum from the Caribbean (rumrunners) or hijack whiskey from Canada and bring it into the U.S.  Others would buy large quantities of liquor made in homemade stills.  The gangsters would then open up secret bars (speakeasies) for people to come in, drink, and socialize.

Life was good after WWI Some foods could be delivered right to front door Clarence Birdseye perfected method for freezing and packing food Electricity became more available Electric appliances were more common New convenience foods were available including rolled oats, pancake mix, canned goods and pre- sliced bread, Gerber’s baby foods were available for the first time. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches became famous in 1922

Radios were invented – people listened to jazz, sports, news reports, and favorite programs. The first Miss America contest was Sept. 8, 1921

Movies became a favorite pastime First talking motion picture in 1927 – The Jazz Singer First Disney cartoon in 1928 – Steamboat Willie (Mickey) 4ea9de5180b375f7476ada2c 4ea9de5180b375f7476ada2c

Dance Marathons Popular dances included the Charleston, the Fox-trot, and the Shimmy Longest dance record lasted 3 weeks Flagpole sitting Began with a dare Record was 51 days and 20 hours

Many people, especially blacks left the South looking for better life (jobs, more rights as citizens, better schools, better health care, and less segregation) in the North.

Many Northern companies actively recruited blacks for jobs in factories and assembly plants Life improved in general, but blacks faced overcrowded cities and different kind of prejudice

The Klan’s targets included blacks, Jews, Catholics, and immigrants Klan wanted to “return America to traditional values and morals” – gained new members and the Klan gained political influence Five senators were Klan members Race riots broke out Scandals within the Klan’s leadership led to its decline

May 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew the “Spirit of St. Louis” from New York to France It was the first trans-Atlantic flight!
