A.K.A. “The Roaring 20’s” A Decade of Change… The Jazz Age A.K.A. “The Roaring 20’s” A Decade of Change…

Soldiers come home (p.110) The US soldiers were on their way home to a forever-changed America after WWI. The 1920’s was the start of a new era for the United States. It is often nicknamed “The Jazz Age,” “The Dazzling Decade,” and “The Roaring Twenties” because of all the new changes that came about during that time.

New Amendments (p. 111) The 18th and 19th Amendments were added to the Constitution during this time. The 18th outlawed alcohol in 1919—it was later repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933. The 19th allowed women suffrage (the right to vote) in 1920.

Automobile and factories (p. 113) Henry Ford invented the Model T in 1908. ($850) The car was made in factories on assembly lines that allowed for one thousand cars to be made each day. By 1921, Henry Ford had sold over one million Model T cars. ($290) Between 1920 and 1925, 8 million cars went to 17 million.

Model T Model A (1927)

Rise in Business (p. 114) With people now driving and traveling, the United States economy had another boom. Gas stations, hotels, and restaurants were popping up all over the U.S. People were getting electricity installed in their homes. Now they could use washing machines and refrigerators in their homes. Families were buying radios. Many family evenings at home were spent listening to the news, sports, and comedy shows together on their new radios.

Radios provided inexpensive family entertainment. “On November 2, 1920, station KDKA made America’s first commercial broadcast. They chose that date because it was election day, and the power of radio was proven when people could hear the results of the Harding- Cox presidential race before they read about it in the newspaper.” Source: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/centenary/timeline/ 1920.shtml

How did they pay for it? (p.115) Some would buy their new items on credit– the bank would loan people money, and they would pay a little bit back at a time. Some would invest their money in stock. Stock is when someone buys part of a company (shares). If your company makes money, then you would too.

Stock Shares

The Younger Generation (p. 116) A new style of music called jazz was becoming popular and so a new dance called the Charleston. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v= ZJC21zzkwoE#t=59 Standards of dress and behavior changed. Girls who started wearing knee skirts, make-up, and had short “bobbed” hair were often called flappers. “Bobbed” hair

Are we having fun yet?? Many people of the younger generation would often go to secret places called speakeasies to drink alcohol, dance, and party. They were trying to fill their lives with new customs and “fun,” but they really were just finding their lives to be even more empty inside. Read quote on p.118.

A Time for Revival (p.119) With all the change taking place in America in the 1920s, many Christians saw people’s need for Christ to be stronger than ever. Billy Sunday was a baseball player for the Chicago White Stockings. He quit baseball to evangelize the lost. These meetings that were led by great preachers and evangelists to get people to turn their lives around were called revivals.
