USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The 1920’s was undoubtedly an era of intolerance. Nativist groups like the Ku Klux Klan were in control and discrimination was evident all over the country. This led to immigration restriction as well as the inhibition of cultural movements by minority populations.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 1920s was a decade of profound social changes. The most obvious signs of change were the rise of a consumer-oriented economy and of mass entertainment, which helped to bring about a “revolution in morals and manners.” Sexual mores, gender roles, hair styles, and dress all changed profoundly during the 1920s.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nativism led to increased harassment of immigrants, both by official governmental bodies and by individual groups. It also led to increased political oppression of people with certain political ideologies like anarchism or communism.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sacco and Vanzetti trial in Massachusetts and the Scopes trial in Tennessee revealed many Americans’ fears and suspicions about immigrants, radical politics, and the ways in which new scientific theories might challenge traditional Christian beliefs.
