49-2691 The Nineteen Twenties and the Birth of Modern America

A study on how the nineteen twenties brought forth modern America. Prosperity and technological innovation resulted in the emergence of a consumer society. A more permissive society redefined gender roles, while an increasingly diverse, urban society introduced ideas and customs that changed the nation for good. Traditional, rural Americans, feeling threatened by so much that was new and foreign, fought back in an attempt to restore the pre-war world.
