APUSH Chapter 30 - American Life in the Roaring 20's (1920-1929)

Last updated almost 2 years ago

25 questions

Welcome to your Chapter 30 reading! As you read, you should consider the following essential question:
Was the Roaring 20's truly a period of economic growth and cultural prosperity?
As always, "Focus Questions" should guide your reading and notes, but you do not necessarily have to explicitly answer them.

"The war" in this case refers to World War I, which we are skipping in the interest of time.

1

World War I tldr; America was initially reluctant to enter the First World War due to isolationism stemming all the way back to Washington's Farewell Address and the "America first" mentality of nativism. We eventually joined WWI after discovery of the Zimmerman telegram, which revealed a potential alliance between Germany and Mexico to regain territories lost in the Mexican-American War.

Allied Powers: Won
Great Britain, the United States, France
Axis Powers: Lost
Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire (which no longer exists)

This week, we will learn about the rise of consumerism, which is the belief that it is beneficial for people to spend a lot of money on goods and services. In the 1920s, Americans were so eager to buy the items listed above -- even if they really couldn’t afford it. Why do you think that is?

Well done! Now you might be wondering how Americans were convinced to buy so many goods, which is largely a result of the advertisments that emerged in this time period. Take a look at some examples here.

1

What do all of these 1920s advertisements have in common? What do these examples suggest about the values of American society in the Roaring 20s?

1

In what ways does the consumerism and advertisements of the 1920s persist today (100 years later)?

Don't be fooled by the questions in your history textbook. Blackface is still an issue today!

According to a New York Times poll from February 2019, 1 in 5 American adults have seen someone wear blackface in person. The findings were pretty even across genders, age groups, political parties, and education.
