During the 1920s, America experienced significant economic growth and cultural changes. New inventions like the radio, automobile, and movies became widely popular. The Republican government pursued pro-business policies that contributed to growth, while wages rose and prices remained stable. However, not all groups shared in the prosperity, as farmers struggled with overproduction and falling prices. Prohibition had unintended consequences like increased crime and corruption, as gangsters profited from illegal alcohol. The stock market crash of 1929 marked the end of the boom, as people rushed to sell off shares and were left in debt.

1. Boom Time? 10 Facts that say YES!
- America experienced an economic boom
during the 1920’s. We’ll look at the
reasons for this in a minute, but the
evidence isthere forall tosee:
1) In 1919 there were 9 millioncars.
In 1929 there were 26 million(1in
5 Americansownedacar, 1 in 43
Britishand1 in7,000 Russians!)
2) By 1927 one Ford car was
builtevery10 seconds.
3) In 1920 there were 60,000 radios
in1929 there were 10,000,000
4) In 1915 there were 10 million
telephones. In 1930 there
were 20 million.
5) For everyone fridge thatwas
aroundin 1921 there were 167 in
1929.
6) New York doubled in size during the
1920’s
7) SilkStockingshadbeenaluxury
itemin1900 withonly12,000 pairs
sold.In1920’s a cheapersubstitute
for silkwascreated(rayon).In1930
300 millionpairsof stockingwere
sold.
8) There were no civilian airlinesin
1918, but 1930 new companies
flew162,000 flightseachyear.
9) Buy 1929 nearlyall American
homeswere onthe electricitygrid.
10) During the 1920’s the American
road networkdoubled.
Boom Time? 10 Facts that say NO!
1) FARMING
2) Total US farm income dropped from
$22 billion in 1919 to just $13 billion
in 1928.
3) Less food was being imported
by Europe afterthe war.
4) Canadianwheatwasbeingproduced
cheaper.
5) The populationof the USwas actually
falling.
6) More efficiency increasedthe quantity
of foodproducedwhichmeantthat
there wastoo much available (driving
pricesdown)
7) In the 1920’s the average farmerwould
produce enoughtofeedhis family and
14 others.
8) 1921 saw farmpricesfall by50%
9) In the 1920’s there were 5 timesas
manybankruptciesinfarmingthan
there had been in the 1900’s and
1910’s.
10) 6 millionrural Americaswere forcedoff
theirland.The AfricanAmericanswere
particularly badly hit (750,000 made
unemployed)
BUT
- Fruitand vegetable farmersdidwell,

10) Traditional industrieswereselling
older,establishedproducts(thatfewer
people wanted –see silkstockingsasan
example).Theyreliedonmanpower
rather thanmass productionandwere
more expensive thanthe newermass
producedproducts.
BUT
- Fruitand vegetable farmers did well, since
rich Americans wanted their produce.
Lettuce shipments to the city rosefrom
14,000 crates in 1920 to 52,000 crates in
1928.

2. 1. America’swealth.
America was richinraw materials
eg. Oil, coaland ironore, this
gave it the abilityto manufacture
lots of different goods. WWI
helped themtoo, sellingto the
allies. The AmericanChemical
Industrybecame the world leader
as a result ofthis.
2. NewIndustries
Total productionin American
industryincreasedby50%
duringthe 1920’s. This was
drivenbythe demandfornew
productsincludingradios,
vacuumcleanersandthe car.
3. RisingWagesand Stable
Prices
- Wageswentup butprices
became the same.The Reasons for
assemblyline,made famous the Boom
by Fordwas one reasonthat
pricesstayedlow.
4. Hire Purchase (credit)
- Thisallowedpeople tobuy
new products(egradio) with
a small depositandthen
weeklyinstalments.8/10cars
and 6/10 radiowere
purchasedonhire credit.
- Mail order catalogues
alsoprovidedthis.
5. Republican(Government) policies
- ‘Laissez-faire; the president left it to the businessmen to
make money.
- Tariffs;1922 saw the Fordney-McCumbertariff whichmade
importedfoodexpensive tobuy.ThishelpedAmericanproducers
(farmersinthiscase) sell theirproductsmore easily.
- Low Taxes; the Republicans kept taxes low which left people with
more moneyto spend.
- Trusts; Republicans allowed big trusts to be created where one
company dominated an industry eg. Rockefller (oil) and Carnegie
(steel)
Average wages:
1919 = $1,158
1927 = $1, 304
Numberof Millionaires:
1914 = 7,000
1928 = 35,000

3. August 1921 saw only 1 licenced radio station in America, but
by the end of 1922 there were 508 of them. This goes to show why
so many people bought me – I was a new invention and frankly, I
was the best! Although, I wasn’t everywhere. By 1930 there was
one radio for every 2 to 3 households, but in poor districts people
wouldgo to shops, or neighbours houses to listen!
It’s all about the jazz man. In
fact the 1920’s wasnamedafter
me – ‘the Jazzage’.New dances
like the Charleston and those
new flappers were all brought
about by my groovy rhythms.
Brrrrrm brrrrm brrrrrm, sorry, nearly didn’t see
you there, youseeI’m the newcarand I ROCK!I
allowed Americans to get wherever they Phew, you’ve heard
wanted (and the young ones wantedto get ofthe New York
away from theirparents!) In factby 19294.8 Yankies right? Well
million cars hadbeenbuilt.Gotta baseball and boxing
go…..Brrrrrrrrrrrrm(Although only 3% ofsemiskilled wokers owned
me, compared to richerareas where29% ofpeople did… became really
popular
Ah yes, the silver screen, that’s me. 100 milliontickets were being sold
each week by1930! The first talkie wasreleased in
1927…wow, times move so fast. I was busyshocking people with some
provocative (for the time!) movieslike A Shocking
Night starring Clara Bow(the first ‘It’ girl. I’ll still remember the women
faintingat the sight of a RudolfValentinonaked torso in The Sheik in
1921!

4. Smoked and drank inWore restrictive
clothes and behaved public, went about
appropriately without chaperones.
Very few paid jobs Although there were1920’s – the rise of the flapper….
were open to women some high profile
women (Eleanor
Roosevelt), few women
had been elected by
1929.
1914; only 100,000
divorces (women
remained in unhappy
By 1929 200,000marriages)
women got divorced
each year.
The Johnson–Reid Act (1924)
Considering the problems being caused by immigration at the moment;
specifically the way in which different groups are looking down on each
other (Irish American, French Canadians and German Americans in pole
position,followedbythe EasternEuropeanandItalianimmigrantswiththe
African Americans and Mexicans at the bottom of the pile., we are
proposing:
- A QUOTA of 150,000 immigrantseachyear,whoare likelytobe
entirelyEuropean.
- Asianimmigrationistostopimmediately.

5. Sacco and Vanzetti
These were two high profile victims of the Red Scare.They wereItalian Americanswho wereself-confessed
anarchists.Theirtrial wasoneof racial slurs and very dodgy evidence.Howeverthejudgeof the trial hated anarchists
and said:
AlthoughVanzetti ‘maynothave actually
committed the crime attributed to him, he is
Those neverthelessmorallyculpable(toblame)
anarchist because he isthe enemyof our existing
B******s institutions’
Although thismightseem a bit biased to you,it wascarried through and both Sacco and Vanzettiweresentenced to
death.This waswhatthefear of the Red Scaredid to someAmericans.DespitemassiveprotestsSacco and Vanzetti
were botheventually executed in 1927. The Red Scare also caused a clampdown on immigration (already noted).By
1929 the numberof immigrantsarriving each year had dropped fromovera million in 1919 to 150,000 (seethe
Johnson –Reid Act of 1924).
Commonplace.

6. The Klu KluxKlan
- Thisorganisation became very
popularagaininthe 1920’s after
the release of the film‘Birthof a
Nation’
- At their height they had around 4.5
millionmembers(1924).
- The governorsof both Oregonand
Oklahomawere bothmembersof
the Klan.
- Methodsincluded parades,
beatingsandlynching.
The ScopesTrial (aka the monkeytrial)
- In Tennessee teaching the theory
of evolution had been banned.
- One teacher (Scopes ) taught
it anyway.
- He was put on trial, this was the
conservatives vs the modernists.
- He was found guilty and
fined$100.
- However,the warwaswon bythe
modernists,whowere able to
expose the stupidityof this
intolerance andthe factthat it
contradicterthe rightto freedom
of speech.The law wasneverused
again.
- Supportersof Prohibitionwere alsoknownas‘dries’.
- The Anti-SaloonLeague andWomen’sChristianTemperance Unionwere the twobiganti
drinkinggroupsthatwantedtosee prohibitionintroduced.
- By 1916 21 stateshad alreadybannedsaloons,thisshowsusthatprohibitionhadsupport
fromleadersandpoliticians.
- The ‘dries’claimedthateveryyear3000 infantswere smotheredintheirbedsbydrunken
parents.
- USA’sentryintoWWI boostedthe prohibitioncampaignsincemanybigbrewerieswererun

- The eighteenthamendmentwasproposedin1917 and became law inJanuary1920. It was
knownas the ‘VolsteadAct’and‘prohibitedthe manufacture,sale ortransportationof
intoxicatingliquors’.
- It was repealedbythe newDemocraticPresidentFranklinDRooseveltwhoputitonhis
campaignpromises.

7. - The majorityof

- Maryland never even
introduced prohibition.
- Al Capone made $60

Don’tforgethe positives,
levelsof alcohol consumption
fell byabout30% duringthe
1920’s.
- This caused corruption to become rife and led
to gangwarfare over the lucrativetradein
illegal alcohol.
- Organised gangs made over $2 billion
from the saleof illegal alcohol.
- George Remus bribed officialsto allowhimto
carry out his illegal practise.He was so rich
that at one party he gave a car to all of the
female guests and a $25,000 pair of cufflinks
to all of the men.
- New York FBI boss Don Chaplin: “Put your
hands on the table, both of them. Every son
of a bitch wearinga diamond is fired”.
- Al Capone was based in Chicago where there were 130 gangland murders in 1926 and 1927 but not one
arrest – the criminalswere incontrol!
- He was a well-known figure in the city since he was bribing nearly all of the officials, he even had the
mayor onhispayroll!
- - He was well known for being generous eg.$100 to waiters and spent $30,000 on a soup kitchen for the
unemployed.
- Capone wasin complete control of Chicagoafter1929 whenhe carriedout the St Valentine’sDay
Massacre murdering7 membersof hisrivals(Bugsy Moran) gangusinga false police carandtwo
gangstersinpolice uniforms.
- He committed(orhisgangdidat least!) over300 murdersduringhistime incontrol.
Hi, I’m Issy Einstein and with my deputy Moe Smith I tried to clamp
down on the illegal sale of alcohol in so called speakeasies. In fact, by
1925 there were more speakeasies in American cities than there had
been saloons in 1919. It was pretty easy to find people selling alcohol,
despite it being illegal. In fact it too me just 21 minutes in Chicago, 17
minutes in Atlanta, 11 minutes in Pittsburgh and my personal
favourite, 35 seconds in New Orleans (the taxi driver offered me
a bottle of whiskey)!
This showed that Prohibition wasn’t working, but also shows that
we were successfully catching the law breakers. You could use this
evidence to support either side of the argument!

9. - Occurredin October1929.
- Causedbya crash inthe Stock Markets.
- People hadbeeninvestinginthe Stock
Market because the value of shareskept
rising.
- This made them borrow money to buy even
more shares. Before selling these shares for
a profit(notkeepingthemforverylong).
Thiswas calledspeculation.
- When people started to sell shares
theirvalue decreased.
- This meant that the people who had
borrowed money were left in massive debt.
- Unemploymentstartedtorise as companies
Key Facts:
In 1920 there had beenonly4 millionshare
owners inAmerica.
By 1929 there were 20 million.
There were 600,000 speculators
Banks lent $9 billionfor speculatingin1929
UnionCarbide shares increasedby$268 in 7
months (1928)
Impacts of the Wall Street Crash:
1) The Wealthy:Rockefellerlost80% of wealth – leftwith $40 million
2) The Banks: 1929 – 659 banks went bankrupt, 1930 – 1,352 went bankrupt, 1931 – 2,294 banks
went bankrupt, and overall $1 billion have been removed from these banks by investors.
3) Industry and Farming: Industrial andfarm productionfell by 40% and wages by 60% between
1928 and 1933. Farm income haddroppedto$5 billionperyear.
4) Unemployment: By 1933 14 million workers had been made unemployed. Unemployment
inthe steel cityof Clevelandhit50% and Toledo80%
5) The Human Cost: New slums were created and caused ‘Hoovervilles’ and in New Yorkin 1932
238 people were admittedtohospitalformalnutrition.45died?
6) WWIVeterans:WWI veteransmarchedonWashingtontoask for theirwarbonusto be
paidearly.HooverasksGeneral MacArthur to deal withthem, buttotreat themwith
respect.MacArthurignoredthese ordersandburnttheircamp down.Hooverrefusedto
condemnMacArthur,insteadhe stoodbyhim.
The Campaign:
- Unlike Hoover(Republican),Roosevelt(Democrat) wantedtodosomething.
- He carried out a campaign of some 20,800km giving 16 major speeches and a further 60 from the back
of the train.He promiseda‘NewDeal’.
- Hoover, on the other hand, blocked the Garner-Wagner relief bill which would have allowed Congress to
provide $2.1 billiontocreate jobs.Hooverbelievedin‘RuggedIndividualism’.

10. 1) The Emergency Banking Act – Roosevelt shut down
the banks for two days and had them all checked out.
5000 trustworthy banks were reopened; they were to
be backed by the government if necessary. Saved
20% of homeowners and farmers from repossession.
2) The Federal Emergency Relief Administration – this
acted on the needs of the poor. A sum of $500
million was spent on soup kitchens, blankets,
employment schemes and nursery schools.
3) The CivilianConservationCorps – aimedat young

renewed.Mostof theirworkwasdone on
environmental projectsinnational parks.2.5
millionyoungmenwere helpedbythisscheme.
4) The Agricultural AdjustmentAdministration – set

increase prices.Helpedmodernisefarms,
howeverthisputfarmlabourersoutof work.
Farmers50% betteroff by1936
5) The National Industrial RecoveryAct:
- PublicWorks Administration– used
governmentmoneytobuildschools,roads,
dams,bridgesandairports. Created600,000
jobs.
- The National Recovery Administration –
improved working conditions in industry and
outlawed child labour. It also set fair wages and
sensible levels of production. It was voluntary,
but firms which joined used the blue eagle as a
symbol of presidential approval. Over 2 million
employers joined the scheme.
6) The TennesseeValley Authority – this cut across an
area of seven states which were particularly poor.
The authority built dams which irrigated dried out
land, created electricity to those who had none, and
created thousands of jobs in the area.

11. Despite his achievements,by May 1935 Rooseveltwas
facing severe criticism fromall sides.People like Senator
Huey Long,forexample,thoughtthathewasn’tdoing
enough.Rooseveltmetwithhis ‘brainstrust’and decided
to takeeven furtheraction.
1) The WagnerAct – forcedall employerstoallow
trade unionsto operate intheircompaniesand
to letthemnegotiate withemployersforbetter
pay andconditions.The act made itillegal to
sack workersforbeingina union.
2) The Social SecurityAct – providedstate pensions
for the elderlyandforwidowsandallowedstate
and federal governmentstoworktogetherto

unemploymentinsurance forworkers.
3) The WorksProgress Administration – later

Women
-The New Deal saw many women
achieve prominent positions
includingEleanorRoosevelt.
-The National Youth Administration
was a woman, Mary Macleod
Bethune. She was also African
American.
-Frances Perkins was the Secretary
of Labourand a keyNewDeal figure.
-Most of the New Deal programmes
were aimed at men, only 8,000
womenbenefitedfromthe CCC.
-Local governments sought to avoid
paying women social security by
introducing special qualifications and
conditions.

12. Bethune.She wasalsoAfricanAmerican.
a
Problemsin the Supreme Court:
- Althoughhe wona huge victoryin1936,
Roosevelt’sproblemswere farfromover.
- He nowfacedthe most powerful enemyof
the New Deal – The Supreme Court,which
was controlledbythe Republicans.
- In May 1935 the case highlightedtothe
rightcame to the Supreme Court(The
SchechterPoultryCorporation).
- The company appealedtothe Supreme
Court,who overturnedthe prosecution,
claimingthatthe federal governmenthad
no rightto prosecute the company.Infact,
the Supreme Court(Republicancontrolled)
claimedthatthe NRA was unconstitutional
(illegal) becauseittooktoomuch power
away fromthe local states.
- Rooseveltwasfurious.He askedCongress
to give himpowertoappointsix more
Supreme Courtjudgeswhowere
sympathetictothe NewDeal andwould
overturnthisruling(bychangingthe
balance of powerinthe Supreme Court.
- However,the Americanpublicwere scared
by thisbehaviour.TheysawitasRoosevelt
attackingthe Americanstyle of government
and behavinglikeadictator.Roosevelthad
to abandonhisplans.
- However,the Supreme Courtwere also
shakenbyRoosevelt’sthreatsandwere
much lessobstructive inthe future.Mostof
Roosevelt’sSecondNew Deal wasapproved
after1937.
SchechterPoultry Corporation vs NRA
The SchechterPoultryCorporationhad
beenfoundguiltyof:
1) Sellingdiseasedchickensfor
humanconsumption.
2) Filingfalse sales claims(to
make the companyworth
more)
3) Exploitingitsworkers
4) Threateninggovernment
inspectors.
Oppositionto the NewDeal:
1) It’s not doing enough– Huey Long,
Governorof Louisianain1928 (and
senator1932) believedintaxingbig
businessandgivingtothe poor.He
proposed‘Share OurWealth’
(personal fortunesnomore than$3
millionandmaximumearning$1
millionayear).Free washing
machinesandradiosfor the over
60s! Assassinated1935.Dr Francis
Townsend(founderof Townsend
Clubs) campaignedforapensionof
$200 per monthforthe over60s.
Father Coughlinsetup the National
Unionfor Social Justice.
2) It’sdoingtoo much– Republicans
and sectionof the business
communityclaimedthat:there were
too many codesand regulations, the
free marketshoulddeal withthe
issues, Rooseveltwasbehavinglike a
dictator.There wasevena smear
campaignagainstRooseveltclaiming
that he was disableddue toanSTD
rather thanPolio.
The outcome?Rooseveltwon the
1936 electionwith27 millionvotes!!

13. A New Society?
- The NewDeal restoredthe faithof
the Americanpeople intheir
government.
- It handledbillionsof dollarsof public
moneywithnocorruption.For
example,HaroldHopkinsdistributed
$10 billionbutneverdrewmore
than hissalaryof $15,000. The
Secretaryof the Interior,Harold
Ickes,actuallytappedthe phonesof
hisemployees toensure there was
no corruption.There wasnone.
- However,othersaccusedIckesand
Hopkinsof beingCommunistand
anti-business(because they
supportedtrade unions).
Industrial Workers
- The NRA andsecondnewDeal
strengthenedthe positionof
the labourunions.
- Some labour unions joined
forces in 1935 to form the
Committee for Industrial
Organisation (CIO).
- The Union of Automobile
Workers(UAW) was recognised
by twoveryanti-union
organisations:General Motorsin
1936 and Fordin 1941.
- However,manystrikes
continuedtobe brokenupwith
violence andcompaniessuchas
Ford andChrysleremployed
theirownthugsor controlled
the local police.
Unemploymentandthe Economy:
- The New Deal created millions of jobs, stabilised the banking system and
reducedthe numberof businessfailures.
- Projects, eg. The TVA improved the standard of living for thousands of people.
- Valuable resourcesincludingschools,roadsandpowerstationswere built.
- The NewDeal neversolvedthe underlyingeconomicproblems.
- Confidence remainedlow –throughoutthe 1930s Americaonlyspentand
investedabout75%of whattheyhad before 1929
- When Roosevelt cut the New Deal budget in 1937 America went back into
recession.
- There were 6 millionunemployedin1941
African Americans:
- Around200,000 AfricanAmericans
gainedbenefitsfromthe CCCand
otherNewDeal agencies.
- They benefited from the
slumsclearancesetc.
- However,manyNewDeal agencies
still discriminatedagainstAfrican
Americans.
Native Americans
- The Indian Reorganisation Actin
1934 provided money to help
Native Americans to buy and
improve land.
- The Indian Reservation Act
(1934) helped the Native
Americans to preserve and
practisetheir traditions laws
and cultures.
- Native Americans remained a
poor and excluded group of
society.
