American Culture in the Twenties - "The decade of the 1920s is often characterized as a period of American prosperity and optimism. It was the "Roaring Twenties," the decade of bath tub gin, the model T, the $5 work day, the first transatlantic flight, and the movie. It is often seen as a period of great advance as the nation became urban and commercial (Calvin Coolidge declared that America's business was business). The decade is also seen as a period of rising intolerance and isolation: chastened by the first world war, historians often point out that Americans retreated into a provincialism evidenced by the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, the anti- radical hysteria of the Palmer raids, restrictive immigration laws, and prohibition. Overall, the decade is often seen as a period of great contradiction: of rising optimism and deadening cynicism, of increasing and decreasing faith, of great hope and great despair. Put differently, historians usually see the 1920s as a decade of serious cultural conflict." Wow, what a description of this Web site....from student presentations at James Madison College.

Have you tried researching what was happening during that time period? It was a lot more than just flappers and high times. Try looking up Fiorello LaGuardia in the encyclopedia, or the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, or the General Slocum Fire, or any of a number of other significant events, then make your choice. We're not here to do your homework *for* you.
