1920
A DECADE OF CONFLICT
A. REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS
B. BUSINESS THRIVES/PEOPLE IN POVERTY
C. RURAL V. URBAN CONFLICT
THE 1920s WAS A TIME OF REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS…
1. HARDING
wanted a return to “NORMALCY” WILLIAM H. TAFT (CHIEF JUSTICE)
SCANDAL!! (Harding dies before…)
ALBERT FALL(SEC OF INTERIOR)
TEAPOT DOME SCANDAL
(oil reserves, bribes)
2. COOLIDGE (Harding’s VP)
-finishes Harding-then wins in 1924
NICKNAMED “SILENT CAL”
“THE BUSINESS OF AMERICA IS BUSINESS”
SAID NO TO BONUS ARMY & VETOED BILL TO HELP FARMERS
3. HOOVER
(Coolidge doesn’t run in 1928)
SERVED UNDER WILSON, HARDING, COOLIDGE
RAN AGAINST ALFRED SMITH
-IMMIGRANT FAMILY
-CATHOLIC
-AGAINST PROHIBITION
THE GREAT DEPRESSION HITS
DURING HIS PRESIDENCY…
Seen as“big city”
DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY IS ISOLATIONIST…AFTER ALL, THEY GOT US INVOLVED IN THAT WAR.
WE INSTITUTE THE DAWES PLAN TO HELP GERMANY MAKE REPARATIONS. WE LOAN GERMANY MONEY TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO GB & FR; THEY USE THAT MONEY TO REPAY DEBTS TO THE U.S…
THE KELLOGG-BRIAND PACT RENOUNCES AGGRESSIVE USE OF FORCE -UNLESS IT IS IN DEFENSE -BUT NO ACTION AGAINST VIOLATORS
WHY IS BUSINESS DOING WELL?1) PRODUCTION IS UP
(FORD ASSEMBLY LINE)
2) ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
(OIL, ELECTRIC MOTORS)
3) GOVERNMENT POLICY
(FAVORS BUSINESS)
THIS IS THE ROARING 20s, THE
PARTY DECADE; HOWEVER, 40% OF
FAMILIES LIVE BELOW POVERTY
LEVEL AND MAKE < $1,500 A
YEAR!
THE MAIN CONFLICT IS A RURAL V. URBAN;
TRADITIONAL V. MODERN IDEOLOGY…
1. PROHIBITION
2. FUNDAMENTALISM
3. KLAN ACTIVITY
4. XENOPHOBIA
1. PROHIBITION
-ONCE IT TOOK EFFECT, GANG WARFARE BEGINS. PEOPLE LIKE AL CAPONE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PUBLIC’S DESIRE FOR THE ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE. IT PROVIDES THEM AN INCOME…
-BOOTLEGGERS
-RUM RUNNERS
-SPEAKEASIES
-BATHTUB GIN
-MOONSHINE
-enforcement almost impossible.-leads to rise of gang activity
Al CaponeSt. Valentine’s Day Massacre
(1929) 7 members of Moran gang killedpublic sentiment against organized
crime
-Elliot Ness and the “UNTOUCHABLES”helped get indictments against Capone
PROHIBITION IS REPEALED WITH 21ST AMENDMENT!
2. FUNDAMENTALISM
THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASH IS THE SCOPES MONKEY TRIAL
SCOPES IS BIOLOGY TEACHER
INTENTIONALLY BREAKS LAW AND TEACHES EVOLUTION
CLARENCE DARROW (Scope’s attorney) VS. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
STILL A SOURCE OF CONTROVERSY
Scopes fined $100 (overturned)
In 1968, the Supreme Court ruled that laws against teaching evolution were illegal…
3. KLAN ACTIVITY
BECOMES A POLITICAL FORCE DURING THIS TIME!
AGAINST CATHOLICS, JEWS, UNIONS, SOCIALISTS, FOREIGNERS, COMMUNISTS…
POPULARITY IS HURT IN 1925 WHEN GRAND DRAGON DAVID STEPHENSON IS TRIED FOR THE DEATH OF A YOUNG WOMAN. (INDIANA)
I AM THE LAW IN INDIANA
4. XENOPHOBIA
THE FEAR OF FOREIGNERS LEADS TO NATIVISM…
AMERICA INSTITUTES QUOTAS FOR IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION
EMERGENCY QUOTA ACT (1921)
IMMIGRATION ACT OF 1924
1921= 3% OF 1910
1924= 2% OF 1890
IMMIGRATION FROM ASIA STOPPED…
THE TRIAL OF SACCO & VANZETTI (1921) AND THEIR EXECUTION IN 1927 IS USED AS AN EXAMPLE!
In 1924 the American Indian Citizenship act granted immediate U.S. citizenship to all Native American Indians born in the United States. Before this time, some were citizens if they married a citizen or served in the military or were given citizenship through a special treaty.
