Question

why was the 1920’s called the good old days in United States?

Answer 1

the 1920's wasn't called the Good Old Days it was called The Roaring 20's everything was going right in the 20's in the US. The economy was booming people were living a care-free lifestyle there was no war there were no real social problems eveyone just wanted to have a good time and dance and go out to clubs and hear the live music of the day which was mostly big band and jazz. there were just no major problems to slow down the party except of course for the stock market crash of 1929 which ended the party abruptly and since everything was going so well with everything no one could have thought that something like that would happen and it caused the Great Depression

Answer 2

I think it was because they outlawed Alcohol in 1919 so they had to create Speak Easies.

***Speakeasies were formed in the 1920's as a means to get around the everyday hassle of law enforcement watching for people to violate the 18th Amendment. As a result of Prohibition, the speakeasy was an established institution. For every legitimate saloon that closed as a result of the new law, a half dozen underground palaces sprung up. These speakeasies were one of the many ways that people during the 1920's and early 1930's obtained illegal alcohol.***

Answer 3

It's called that by some people because some people had money. Of course the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, the rise of organized crime, Prohibition, racism, government corruption, etc. make it a not-so-good time for a great many people, if not all people.

Answer 4

I have found that when people say 'the good ole days', the time period they are referring to is their late teens-early twenties. I think it is because they were more worried about getting laid and partying than economics and world problems.

Answer 5

I think it was called "The good Ol' days" because that was the party decade and the decade after that was the Great Depression.

Answer 6

Flappers, the Charleston (a dance) fast cars, fast women (and Men) do-wacka-do,
