AP Chapter 24 The New Era
Commonly known as the “Roaring
Twenties”, this new era for America
was the backdrop for a clashing of
old and new, traditionalists vs.
liberalism, country life vs. city life. It
was a time of significant change in
terms of social, economic and
political views.
• The 1920’s was an era of rapid change and
clashing values. Many Americans believed
society was losing its traditional values and
they took action to preserve these values.
Other Americans embraced new values
associated with a freer lifestyle and the
pursuit of individual goals.
• A disillusioned America turned away from
idealism after WWI and many turned toward
social conservatism—they turned inward and
became hostile to anything foreign or
different
1. Themes: 1920’s common themes-
• Return to normalcy
• US turned inward---isolationism
• Jazz Age
• first modern era in the U.S.
• change from a rural society to an
urban.
The War’s Impact
• Racial Unrest: As hundreds of thousands of
white American soldiers from Europe returned
home looking for a job, clashes occurred with
the African Americans who had moved north
during the war to take those jobs. Frustration
and racism combined to produce violence. In
the summer of 1919, over 20 race riots broke
out across the nation.
Red Summer
• The worst violence occurred in Chicago. On a
hot July day, African Americans found
themselves at a White only beach.

ed-summer
The Red Scare
• Americans had become very anti-German as
the war progressed, and when the
Communists withdrew Russia from the war,
they seemed to be helping Germany.
American anger at Germany quickly expanded
into anger at Communists as well. Americans
began to associate communism with being
unpatriotic and disloyal.
Nativism Resurges
• The fear and prejudice many felt toward
Germans and Communists expanded to
include all immigrants. This triggered a
general rise in racism and in nativism, the
desire to protect the interests of old-stock
Americans against those of immigrants.
Why?
• Immigration returns
• Economic recession
• Racial and cultural tensions
• Fear and prejudice toward Germans and
Communists
The Sacco-Vanzetti Case
• Both Italian immigrants (anarchist)
• Convicted of murder during a robbery
• Evidence was insufficient, found guilty and
executed in 1927
Return of the KKK
• At the forefront to restrict immigration, the
new KKK targeted not only African Americans,
but also Catholics, Jews and other groups
believed to represent “un American” values.
• By 1924 membership in the Klan exploded,
reaching nearly 4 million.
Ap chapter 24 the new era1
Controlling Immigration
• After WWI, American immigration policies
changed in response to the postwar recession
and nativist pleas to “Keep America American”.
• In 1921, President Harding signed the Emergency
Quota Act, which established a temporary quota
system.
• Only 3% on the total number of people in any
ethnic group already living in the US could be
admitted in a single year.
• http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/immigrati
on-us.html
•The U.S. Government began to restrict certain
“undesirable” immigrants from entering the
U.S.
•Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act of
1921, in which newcomers from Europe were
restricted at any year to a quota, which was set
at 3% of the people of their nationality who
lived in the U.S. in 1910.
•Immigration Act of 1924, the quota down to
2% and the origins base was shifted to that of
1890, when few southeastern Europeans lived in
America.
• After the recession of 1921-22 ended, the US
economy experienced a time of remarkable
growth and prosperity.

Ap chapter 24 the new era1
Labor in the New Era
Welfare Capitalism
Employers hoping to avoid any
interruption in production provided
benefits, paid vacations, and
shortened work weeks. Only a small
number of workers were involved.
The 1920’s were not a good time for
unions.
Women and Minorities in the Work
Force
• Women: “Pink Collar” jobs-low paying service
occupations—secretaries, sales clerks,
telephone operators
• African Americans: “Great Migration”
produced many unskilled workers who took
jobs as janitors, dishwashers, garbage
collectors, laundry attendants, domestics
• Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters-1925-
• A. Philip Randolph
• Railroad employees- powerful labor union
• Asians: Chinese Exclusion Act kept the Chinese
out. Japanese took their place. The Issei
(Japanese immigrants) and the Nisei (children
born in American of Japanese parents) did have
some success by establishing their own
businesses. So much in fact that legislation was
passed against them between 1913 and 1920 to
make it much more difficult for them to purchase
land.
Mexicans
• ½ million entered the US in the 1920s. Most
lived along border states. Living conditions
were poor. Barrios in cities-no services like
running water and sewage. Worked in
factories, shops, mines, migratory farm
laborers.
The American Plan
• Unions were weak due to the strength of the
corporations. Unionism was equated to
subversive activities. Employers wanted an
“open shop” rather than union's. This was
called the American Plan—requiring no
worker to join a union.
The Movies and Broadcasting
• Silent films were well attended, but in 1927
the first “talkie” The Jazz Singer with Al Jolson
was an huge success. The son of a Jewish
Cantor must defy his father in order to pursue
his dream of becoming a jazz singer.
• http://youtu.be/TncSKQXYENQ
• Birth of a Nation
Radio
• The really important communications
appliance was the radio. It developed news
programs, soap operas, farm shows, comedy
shows—just about anything one could ask for.
Religion
• Religion was taking a back seat to other forms
of family activities. But not by everyone..
Fundamentalism
• Fundamentalism is the belief that the Bible is
literally true, because it was written by God
and cannot contain contradictions or errors
• The rise of fundamentalism in the 1920s was
caused by the belief that traditional life was
under attack
• Fundamentalists attacked women’s suffrage,
education, and science
• Women’s suffrage was attacked by
fundamentalists who believed that it upset
traditional gender roles
• Evangelical ministers spread the word of the
fundamentalists at revivals & over the radio
Billy Sunday,
Evangelical
Preacher
The Scopes Trial
• New ideas & fundamentalism clashed
during the Scopes Trial--A historic trial that
pinned evolutionists and creationists
against each other.
• A Tennessee teacher, John Scopes, was
arrested and tried for teaching Darwin’s
Theory of Evolution instead of the Bible’s
account of Creation
The Scopes Trial
• Main Characters:
• John T. Scopes—science teacher who taught
evolution
• William Jennings Bryan—prosecutor,
represented the creationists
• Clarence Darrow—most famous trial lawyer at
the time, defended Scopes
Darrow and Jennings
Inherit the Wind

Women in the 1920’s
• The Flapper—a modern women of the 20’s.
• Fashion took on a modern look during the
1920’s
The Playful flapper here we see,
The fairest of the fair.
She's not what Grandma used to be,
You might say, au contraire.
Her girlish ways may make a stir,
Her manners cause a scene,
But there is no more harm in her
Than in a submarine.
She nightly knocks for many a goal
The usual dancing men.
Her speed is great, but her control
Is something else again.
All spotlights focus on her pranks.
All tongues her prowess herald.
For which she well may render thanks
To God and Scott Fitzgerald.
Her golden rule is plain enough -
Just get them young and treat them
rough.
by Dorothy Parker
“Flappers” sought
individual freedom
Ongoing crusade for
equal rights
Most women remain in
the “cult of domesticity”
sphere
Discovery of adolescence
Teenaged children no
longer needed to work
and indulged their
craving for excitement
Fashions
Flappers pursued
social freedoms by
entering the work
force as salesclerks,
secretaries and
phone operators as
well as making
contributions in
science, medicine,
law and literature.

The Harlem Renaissance
• After WWI, black populations swelled in large
northern cities—particularly in the New York
City neighborhood of Harlem. It was there
that African Americans created an
environment that stimulated artistic
development, racial pride, a sense of
community and political organization. The
result was a flowering of AA arts that became
known as the Harlem Renaissance.
Writers
• One of the most prolific, original, and versatile
writers of the Harlem Renaissance was
Langston Hughes. He became a leading voice
of the African American experience in the US.
The Negro Speaks of Rivers
I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the
world and older than the flow
of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the
rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when
dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it
lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised
the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the
Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went
down to New Orleans, and I've
seen its muddy bosom turn
Jazz, Blues and the Theater
• Jazz-a new style of music influenced by
Dixieland music and ragtime, with its ragged

Ap chapter 24 the new era1

  • 1. AP Chapter 24 The New Era Commonly known as the “Roaring Twenties”, this new era for America was the backdrop for a clashing of old and new, traditionalists vs. liberalism, country life vs. city life. It was a time of significant change in terms of social, economic and political views.
  • 2. • The 1920’s was an era of rapid change and clashing values. Many Americans believed society was losing its traditional values and they took action to preserve these values. Other Americans embraced new values associated with a freer lifestyle and the pursuit of individual goals.
  • 3. • A disillusioned America turned away from idealism after WWI and many turned toward social conservatism—they turned inward and became hostile to anything foreign or different
  • 4. 1. Themes: 1920’s common themes- • Return to normalcy • US turned inward---isolationism • Jazz Age • first modern era in the U.S. • change from a rural society to an urban.
  • 5. The War’s Impact • Racial Unrest: As hundreds of thousands of white American soldiers from Europe returned home looking for a job, clashes occurred with the African Americans who had moved north during the war to take those jobs. Frustration and racism combined to produce violence. In the summer of 1919, over 20 race riots broke out across the nation.
  • 6. Red Summer • The worst violence occurred in Chicago. On a hot July day, African Americans found themselves at a White only beach. • http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/2011/10/12/r ed-summer
  • 7. The Red Scare • Americans had become very anti-German as the war progressed, and when the Communists withdrew Russia from the war, they seemed to be helping Germany. American anger at Germany quickly expanded into anger at Communists as well. Americans began to associate communism with being unpatriotic and disloyal.
  • 8. Nativism Resurges • The fear and prejudice many felt toward Germans and Communists expanded to include all immigrants. This triggered a general rise in racism and in nativism, the desire to protect the interests of old-stock Americans against those of immigrants.
  • 9. Why? • Immigration returns • Economic recession • Racial and cultural tensions • Fear and prejudice toward Germans and Communists
  • 11. • Both Italian immigrants (anarchist) • Convicted of murder during a robbery • Evidence was insufficient, found guilty and executed in 1927
  • 12. Return of the KKK • At the forefront to restrict immigration, the new KKK targeted not only African Americans, but also Catholics, Jews and other groups believed to represent “un American” values. • By 1924 membership in the Klan exploded, reaching nearly 4 million.
  • 14. Controlling Immigration • After WWI, American immigration policies changed in response to the postwar recession and nativist pleas to “Keep America American”. • In 1921, President Harding signed the Emergency Quota Act, which established a temporary quota system. • Only 3% on the total number of people in any ethnic group already living in the US could be admitted in a single year. • http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/immigrati on-us.html
  • 15. •The U.S. Government began to restrict certain “undesirable” immigrants from entering the U.S. •Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act of 1921, in which newcomers from Europe were restricted at any year to a quota, which was set at 3% of the people of their nationality who lived in the U.S. in 1910. •Immigration Act of 1924, the quota down to 2% and the origins base was shifted to that of 1890, when few southeastern Europeans lived in America.
  • 16. • After the recession of 1921-22 ended, the US economy experienced a time of remarkable growth and prosperity.
  • 17. What was the ‘Boom’?
  • 18. Let the good times roll! Sales of Consumer Goods 1915 - 1930 Overall, the output of American industry doubled in the 1920s Cars Radios Telephones Refrigerators 9 million 60,000 10 million For every one … 1919 1929 19291920 1915 1930 19291921 26 million 10 million 20 million There were 167

  • 21. The New Culture—A Consumer Society • Per capita income $522-1921 $716-1928— greater than anywhere in the world.
  • 22. The Second Industrial Revolution  U.S. develops the highest standard of living in the world  The twenties and the second revolution  electricity replaces steam  Henry Ford’s modern assembly line introduced  Rise of the airline industry  Modern appliances and conveniences begin to change American society
  • 23. Electrical Conveniences • New technologies led to electrical conveniences during the 1920s • Cars, airplanes, radios, telephones were all innovative technologies of the time • Women used new electric household appliances like refrigerators, vacuum cleaners & electric stoves
  • 24. • Advertising: Propaganda had been effective in the war, so now ad agencies targeted their message to certain groups
  • 25. The Advertising Industry • The growth of business produced the advertising industry • Businesses offered the installment plan, which allowed consumers to use credit to purchase expensive items a little at a time • America became a consumer society for the first time (status was measure by how many “things” you owned • However, people were going into debt and saving less money
  • 28. Labor in the New Era Welfare Capitalism Employers hoping to avoid any interruption in production provided benefits, paid vacations, and shortened work weeks. Only a small number of workers were involved. The 1920’s were not a good time for unions.
  • 29. Women and Minorities in the Work Force • Women: “Pink Collar” jobs-low paying service occupations—secretaries, sales clerks, telephone operators • African Americans: “Great Migration” produced many unskilled workers who took jobs as janitors, dishwashers, garbage collectors, laundry attendants, domestics
  • 30. • Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters-1925- • A. Philip Randolph • Railroad employees- powerful labor union • Asians: Chinese Exclusion Act kept the Chinese out. Japanese took their place. The Issei (Japanese immigrants) and the Nisei (children born in American of Japanese parents) did have some success by establishing their own businesses. So much in fact that legislation was passed against them between 1913 and 1920 to make it much more difficult for them to purchase land.
  • 31. Mexicans • ½ million entered the US in the 1920s. Most lived along border states. Living conditions were poor. Barrios in cities-no services like running water and sewage. Worked in factories, shops, mines, migratory farm laborers.
  • 32. The American Plan • Unions were weak due to the strength of the corporations. Unionism was equated to subversive activities. Employers wanted an “open shop” rather than union's. This was called the American Plan—requiring no worker to join a union.
  • 33. The Movies and Broadcasting • Silent films were well attended, but in 1927 the first “talkie” The Jazz Singer with Al Jolson was an huge success. The son of a Jewish Cantor must defy his father in order to pursue his dream of becoming a jazz singer. • http://youtu.be/TncSKQXYENQ • Birth of a Nation
  • 34. Radio • The really important communications appliance was the radio. It developed news programs, soap operas, farm shows, comedy shows—just about anything one could ask for.
  • 35. Religion • Religion was taking a back seat to other forms of family activities. But not by everyone..
  • 36. Fundamentalism • Fundamentalism is the belief that the Bible is literally true, because it was written by God and cannot contain contradictions or errors • The rise of fundamentalism in the 1920s was caused by the belief that traditional life was under attack • Fundamentalists attacked women’s suffrage, education, and science
  • 37. • Women’s suffrage was attacked by fundamentalists who believed that it upset traditional gender roles • Evangelical ministers spread the word of the fundamentalists at revivals & over the radio Billy Sunday, Evangelical Preacher
  • 38. The Scopes Trial • New ideas & fundamentalism clashed during the Scopes Trial--A historic trial that pinned evolutionists and creationists against each other. • A Tennessee teacher, John Scopes, was arrested and tried for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution instead of the Bible’s account of Creation
  • 39. The Scopes Trial • Main Characters: • John T. Scopes—science teacher who taught evolution • William Jennings Bryan—prosecutor, represented the creationists • Clarence Darrow—most famous trial lawyer at the time, defended Scopes
  • 41. Inherit the Wind • Film about the Scopes Trial • http://youtu.be/S_DQUAuNUvw • http://youtu.be/A6Gk5H3c5f8 • http://youtu.be/ECITwTYSIsg • http://youtu.be/l5Kdc0LLSW8
  • 42. Women in the 1920’s • The Flapper—a modern women of the 20’s. • Fashion took on a modern look during the 1920’s
  • 43. The Playful flapper here we see, The fairest of the fair. She's not what Grandma used to be, You might say, au contraire. Her girlish ways may make a stir, Her manners cause a scene, But there is no more harm in her Than in a submarine. She nightly knocks for many a goal The usual dancing men. Her speed is great, but her control Is something else again. All spotlights focus on her pranks. All tongues her prowess herald. For which she well may render thanks To God and Scott Fitzgerald. Her golden rule is plain enough - Just get them young and treat them rough. by Dorothy Parker
  • 44. “Flappers” sought individual freedom Ongoing crusade for equal rights Most women remain in the “cult of domesticity” sphere Discovery of adolescence Teenaged children no longer needed to work and indulged their craving for excitement
  • 46. Flappers pursued social freedoms by entering the work force as salesclerks, secretaries and phone operators as well as making contributions in science, medicine, law and literature.
  • 47. Thoroughly Modern Millie • http://youtu.be/KVNcLUE87HQ
  • 50. Prohibition • The 18th Amendment- making the manufacturing, selling and distributing of liquor illegal. • Enforcing the new law proved to be very difficult. Americans blatantly ignored the law. Speakeasies, bootlegging and hip flasks became part of common speech.
  • 52. •Goal: was to reduce crime and poverty and improve the quality of life by making it impossible for people to get their hands on alcohol. •Called the "Noble Experiment" •Midnight, January 16th, 1920, US went dry. •The 18th Amendment, known as the Volstead Act, prohibited the manufacture, sale and possession of alcohol in America. Prohibition lasted for thirteen years. •So was born the industry of bootlegging, speakeasies and Bathtub Gin.
  • 53. •No other law in America has been violated so flagrantly by so many "decent law-abiding" people. •Overnight, many became criminals. •Mobsters controlled liquor created a booming black market economy. •Gangsters owned speakeasies and by 1925 there were over 100,000 speakeasies in New York City alone.
  • 54. Organized Crime • Organized crime specialized in supplying and often ran the speakeasies. Crime became big business and some gangsters had enough money to corrupt local politicians. Al Capone became the most notorious gangsters of the era.
  • 55. • An era of exciting and innovative cultural trends, the 1920’s witnessed changes in art and literature. This period also saw a dramatic increase in the country’s interest in sports and other forms of popular culture.
  • 58. Poets and Writers • Ernest Hemingway “For Whom the Bell Tolls” • “ A Farewell to Arms” • F. Scott Fitzgerald “The Great Gatsby” • Many of these artist and authors were distraught due to the lack of direction or vision for America. The ideals of progressivism were gone and were replaced by big business, consumerism and politics.
  • 59. Lost Generation A group of novelists and poets including Ernest Hemingway and poets Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, abandoned the US for Europe. Many writers expressed disillusionment with the materialism that they witnessed.
  • 60. Popular Culture • The economic prosperity of the 1920’s provided many Americans with more leisure time and more spending money, which they devoted to making their lives more enjoyable. • Baseball and Boxing
  • 61. Charles Lindbergh • He flew the first transatlantic flight in his plane called the Spirit of St. Louis and became a national hero
  • 62. The Harlem Renaissance • After WWI, black populations swelled in large northern cities—particularly in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem. It was there that African Americans created an environment that stimulated artistic development, racial pride, a sense of community and political organization. The result was a flowering of AA arts that became known as the Harlem Renaissance.
  • 63. Writers • One of the most prolific, original, and versatile writers of the Harlem Renaissance was Langston Hughes. He became a leading voice of the African American experience in the US.
  • 64. The Negro Speaks of Rivers I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. My soul has grown deep like the rivers. I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young. I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep. I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn
  • 65. Jazz, Blues and the Theater • Jazz-a new style of music influenced by Dixieland music and ragtime, with its ragged rhythms and syncopated melodies. • http://youtu.be/9idqeiACqn4 • http://youtu.be/E2VCwBzGdPM • Duke Ellington • Louis Armstrong • The Cotton Club
  • 66. •Beginning of the Jazz Age in New York City •Acceptance of African American culture •African American literature and music
  • 69. African American Politics • The racial pride that sparked the artistic achievements of the Harlem Renaissance also fueled the political and economic aspirations of many African Americans. • A dynamic black leader from Jamaica, of millions of African Marcus Garvey captured the imagination Americas with his call for “Negro Nationalism” which glorified the black culture and traditions of the past.
  • 71. “Return to Normalcy” • This was Warren Harding’s campaign slogan. • 2 presidents during the 1920’s: • Warren Harding • Calvin Coolidge
