The interpretations will be made in hindsight by people such as historians and journalists or by contemporaries who are reflecting later about their experiences. There may also be visual sources used such as cartoons or paintings if they are constructed later. The third piece of evidence will be a contemporary source which will give some support to one or other of the interpretations in Evidence 1 and 2.

Evidence 1: I preached that dancing to Jazz encouraged divorce. It was heathen, animalistic and damnable. It degraded womanhood and manhood. I told them plainly that Jazz was one of the most evil of all modern customs. [The Reverend Burke Culpepper, a Fundamentalist Methodist Minister, remembering his preaching days in the 1920s.] Evidence 2: The 1920s became known as the Jazz Age. Along with new music came new dances. Out went slow dances like the Waltz. In came more lively dances such as the Charleston and the Black Bottom. Going to clubs and dance hall became very fashionable. [From a school textbook by Derrick Murphy, The United States, (2003).] Evidence 3: The front cover of the popular American magazine Life showing a young lady teaching an older man one of the new fashionable dances (1926)] (c) One interpretation is that the American people were greatly angered by the popularity of the dancing to jazz music in the 1920s. How far do you agree with this interpretation? [10] In your answer you should use the evidence above and your own knowledge of how and why there are different interpretations to the Jazz Age.
