<br /> The book Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s by Frederick Lewis Allen recounts all the events leading up to the stock market crash in 1929, beginning with the end of World War I in 1918. The story, told chronologically, contrasts the changing social and political views of the American people throughout the “<a href='/topics/roaring-twenties' style='color:#3174a3'>Roaring Twenties</a>,” as the time period came to be known. Allen makes history enjoyable, vividly describing the creases in Al Capon’s shirt and the painted faces of the young generation.<br /> <br /> By 1919, World War I was over, and the Kaiser of Germany (Hitler) had been successfully overthrown with the help of the <a href='/topics/united-states' style='color:#3174a3'>United States</a>.

Women rebelled, becoming increasingly promiscuous as the decade wore on. In 1920, it would have been unheard of to show an ankle, sport a bob haircut, or darken one’s eyes with what seemed like paint. By 1928, the younger generation was revealed as socially progressive, engaging in previously unthinkable behavior such as smoking, drinking in bars, and sex. Flappers became prevalent, with their flouncy skirts and short hair adorned with a jeweled headband. The decade earned its second nickname, “The Jazz Age”, from the incredible musical talents that emerged out of Harlem and other areas of the United States, leading to a less “restrained” entertainment. <br /> <br /> As the United States began to withdraw from foreign affairs, it became evident that the booming of industry such as General Electric and Ford Motorcars, the soaring stock market prices, and the overall public sentiment surrounding the era would be short lived. Lying on the outskirts of town was pure poverty, resulting from the surplus of labor and the sudden migration from rural</p></span></div><div class="paper__gradient paper__gradient--bottom"></div><div class="center paper__cta"><a class="button text-m button--orange" id="ShowMoreButton" rel="nofollow" data-href="/writing/document/FKJGGEPCTJ">Get Access</a></div></div></div></div><div class="columns large-4 hide-for-medium-only hide-for-small-only"><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar"></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar_1"></div></div></div><div class="row essay-preview-block essay-related-block "><div class="columns large-12 padding-1 no-padding-large"><div class="columns large-12 paper--related-separator-new"><span class="paper--related-separator-word">Related</span></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_related"></div><section class=""><ul id="RelatedDocumentCenter" class="unstyled"><li id="related-essay1"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/The-Jazz-Age-PKV6SGZTC" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Jazz Age Essay</h2></a><ul><li>1472 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li><li>9 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/The-Jazz-Age-PKV6SGZTC" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Jazz Age Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The era of the Roaring Twenties, was a time of great societal change.

The 1920’s is referred to as many different names such as Flapper Era, Jazz Age, and the most well known one, The Roaring 20’s. The Roaring 20’s came to surface in the aftermath of World War I. From the rise of strong opinionated women, to an economic boom and crash, the Roaring 20’s was a captivating era in many ways. The shift between the two time periods, World War I and the 20’s, was a very dramatic change for America. The war had not only left Europe damaged, but it also motivated the political and economic changes in the US.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1451 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Roaring-20s-Dbq-8158B563BF6E489B">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay3"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/1920s-Dbq-B59A191C37429E48" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">1920's Dbq</h2></a><ul><li>519 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/1920s-Dbq-B59A191C37429E48" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">1920's Dbq</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The 1920s was the time of prosperity that undertook drastic changes in the political and social lives of Americans.

They made weapons and turned out supplies for the war. After the fighting ended, the same factories began making peace time products.” (Corrigan 6) Before the war, many jobs were confined to either farms or handyman jobs. With the demand of wartime products such as guns, ammunition, and uniforms, factories provided americans with millions of jobs. Young, old, skilled, and unskilled, were working long hours in these factories; and they were working for little or no pay. As well as these factories providing jobs for Americans, they also provided jobs to the millions of immigrants, who also worked for little to no pay. Also due to the improvement of technology, came the invention of the assembly line which brought mass production and jobs. Washing machines, microwaves, radios, and automobiles were some of many of the new modern conveniences. “The rich became much richer during this decade, but many poor people did not benefit at all from the country's growth.” (Corrigan 6) The social classes stayed the same, this was a result of the new “American Dream”. The wealthy began to be driven by wealth and money. The two upper classes split into two: ones with new money, and those with old. Those with old money usually inherited it in the form of land, investments, or money. Ones with new money, were often very young and spent their money</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>762 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Roaring-Twenties-Traditionalism-PCHC983E6UV">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay7"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Roaring-Twenties-Thesis-D62931C94B8C257C" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Roaring Twenties Thesis</h2></a><ul><li>441 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Roaring-Twenties-Thesis-D62931C94B8C257C" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Roaring Twenties Thesis</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The Roaring Twenties and The Jazz Age are both labels for the time period of the 1920s. This time period involved drastic social along with political change that emphasized artistic and cultural dynamism. Evidence of this is that jazz music and dancing developed, the flapper redefined modern womanhood, Art Deco popularized, and many inventions of great significance came about that continued to fuel this age. Also, the majority of U.S. people were now living in cities rather than on farms for the first time, contributing to the doubling of the nation’s wealth.

This occurrence can be seen in the previous decades yet grows more prominently after the 1920’s, with further generational gaps in values occurring into the present time. Perhaps what makes the clash so overt and prominent in the 20’s compared to earlier generations is that through more media such as radio, movies, advertisements and novels came a rapid pace of fashion and behavior, especially among young women. The changes the generations clashed over were farther apart then could be easily by-passed and an understanding reached. Even during the 1920’s, older and younger generations attempted to figure out why neither could comprehend and appreciate the other’s values, blaming past and current events for the “Flapper Craze.” In the article “A Flapper's Appeal to Parents,” by Ellen Welles Page, those bewildered by</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>584 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Generational-Gaps-In-The-1920s-8508510DF76956DA">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Why-Is-Womens-Freedom-So-Important-In-E5CD1129F6C27D34" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Why Is Women's Freedom So Important In The 1920s</h2></a><ul><li>904 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Why-Is-Womens-Freedom-So-Important-In-E5CD1129F6C27D34" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Why Is Women's Freedom So Important In The 1920s</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The 1920s are often referred to as “The Roaring 20s” and this decade definitely deserves that title. This was a time of social changes and cultural conflicts, and much of the younger generation challenged tradition. Many people welcomed these changes, but some did not. Womanhood was redefined; women gained more social freedom. This decade was also referred to as the Jazz Age, and the popular music that people danced to brought about changes in fashion.

These periods were the focal points of advancements in technology, women’s rights, and culture. The groundbreaking advances in technology for both generations had sparked a whole new outlook on our nation’s future ahead. Women’s rights were also a major turning point for education and the workforce, both in the 1920s and the modern day. Lastly, the influence of many individuals in the cultural communities of the “roaring 20s” and the modern day have greatly impacted the foundations of art, music, and sports. Without a doubt, the way of life for individuals in both eras have extremely similar concepts, where both seem to focus on establishing a progressive and strongly developing future.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1067 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Compare-And-Contrast-The-1920s-And-The-PYQSNDNNGWR">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay11"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Equal-Rights-Amendment-1920-FJVQBV96Y8T" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Equal Rights Amendment 1920</h2></a><ul><li>628 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Equal-Rights-Amendment-1920-FJVQBV96Y8T" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Equal Rights Amendment 1920</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Recollection of popular memory, the decade that followed soon after World War I was referred to as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties (Foner 769). With its flappers; which were young, sexually liberated women (Foner 760-770), speakeasies (nightclubs known for selling liquor in violation of Prohibition), and a rising stock market that was stimulated by easy credit and a get-rich-quick outlook, it was a time of revolt against many of the ethical rules handed-down from the nineteenth century (Foner 770). In addition to this, similar to that of the labor movement, feminists were fighting to adapt to the new political situation.

Sheiks were young men with sex appeal, as well as shebas were young women with sex appeal (Britten 28 & 32). Flappers were young women who wore short skirts, cut their hair short, and danced the nights away with the sheiks and shebas. During the 1920’s, young ladies were expected to dress modestly, in long skirts with blouses and corsets.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>540 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/The-Influence-Of-Life-In-The-1920s-62A9D4C1AF4C8943">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay13"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Effects-Of-The-Great-Depression-The-Effects-PK6NFJ4JF995" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Effects Of The Great Depression : The Effects On Social Classes</h2></a><ul><li>1869 Words</li><li>8 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Effects-Of-The-Great-Depression-The-Effects-PK6NFJ4JF995" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Effects Of The Great Depression : The Effects On Social Classes</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The 1920s was known best for its wealth, parties and free spirits giving it the nickname of the ¨roaring 20s¨. Contributing to the the lavish lifestyle of the 1920s, women, known as flappers, challenged gender roles and broke social norms with their outfits and behaviors. New inventions, such as radios and model-T cars became the foundation for the thriving economy. The country 's culture had been making huge strides and the economy was on an upward climb. Everything about society in the ‘20s seemed to be flourishing. At a rapid rate, more middle and lower class people began investing massive amounts of money. Borrowing money from bankers to finance the get rich quick hobby these classes were engaging in produced dangerous trends. At the peak of the economy in the 1920’s, warning signs began to present themselves of a future economic decline. Many United States citizens ignored the small signs like a subtle rise in stock prices. As the small signs began to become increasingly more evident, big investors sensed danger and took proper precautions. However, the middle and lower class investors were not savvy enough to predict the crash. Finally, on October 29th, 1929, what is now known as ¨Black Tuesday¨, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped almost 23 percent and the market lost between $8 billion and $9 billion in value.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1869 Words</li><li>8 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Effects-Of-The-Great-Depression-The-Effects-PK6NFJ4JF995">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay14"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/American-Influence-On-The-Great-Gatsby-PCAXTVBBHDT" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">American Influence On The Great Gatsby</h2></a><ul><li>992 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/American-Influence-On-The-Great-Gatsby-PCAXTVBBHDT" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">American Influence On The Great Gatsby</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">When you think of the roaring 1920’s, you picture music, dance, life. The art from this time also evolved into something brighter and more imaginative. “The Harlem Renaissance had played an enormous role in creating this sense of a distinct American identity. Its music, especially, was widely understood as one of the first truly “authentic” expressions of American experience, unfettered by European influence or tradition” (The Humanities 109). It was time where people could finally act like themselves and do whatever they want without getting criticized. Women were starting to show some skin with less clothing, Jazz became a popular genre of music that people could not get enough of, and poetry and paintings gave a whole new meaning to art.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>992 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/American-Influence-On-The-Great-Gatsby-PCAXTVBBHDT">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay15"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/An-Analysis-Of-The-Film-Chicago-And-PZWSFQUFFR" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">An Analysis Of The Film Chicago And The Scarlet Letter</h2></a><ul><li>1913 Words</li><li>8 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/An-Analysis-Of-The-Film-Chicago-And-PZWSFQUFFR" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">An Analysis Of The Film Chicago And The Scarlet Letter</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">During the Roaring Twenties young Americans responded to this criticism by expanding on all of these "violations," with more outrageous slang, jazzier music and dance, shorter and flimsier dresses and shorter hair. And the efforts of the Suffragettes paid off when the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was ratified in 1920. The separate spheres of the 19th century had been broken and the Flapper redefined modern womanhood.” ( Social Dance.Sandford,edu)</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative
