New Morality FREEDOM. Young & Modern. Worked and spent money on music, fashion, and other entertainment Urban (cities- it’s where the action is)

Fundamentalists Very Religious: they believed that the Bible was 100% correct and that god created man. Sometimes older generation Lived in rural areas (farms/Midwest)

The 1920’s new American Dream: The Gangster Lifestyle Why was the gangster lifestyle so popular at the turn of the century?

Historical Events  Gangster #1.) Mass Immigration to USA cities millions of immigrants moved to America WWI ( ) destroyed Europe CAUSE EFFECT Influence on Gangster ? = some turned to crime in order to survive

Roscoe Conkling "Fatty" Arbuckle (March 24, 1887 – June 29, 1933) -Highest paid Silent Film Actor ($1 mill in 1918) -Mentored Charlie Chaplin -Labor 1921: Miss Virginia Rappe got sick at his party and soon died. -Arbuckle stood trial 3 times for manslaughter. -Acquitted.
