Three trends dominated this period: renewed isolationism, the resurgence of nativism, and political conservatism. President Harding encouraged a return to "normalcy" but his administration was plagued by scandals. Communism was seen as a threat, leading to raids targeting suspected communists. Business boomed, especially in the automobile industry, and new technologies like radio and movies shaped mass culture. Prohibition was also enacted but widely resisted, leading to the growth of organized crime.

It describes the US becoming the leading industrial economy prior to 1917 due to its vast natural resources, large immigrant workforce, and technological innovation. After entering WWI reluctantly in 1917, the US adopted an isolationist stance afterwards due to its traditions, dislike of Europe, and fears over ideologies like communism.

The decade saw rapid economic growth driven by new industries like automobiles, installment buying, and advertising. However, scandals plagued Harding's administration. Socially, Prohibition sparked crime while new freedoms for women and the Harlem Renaissance countered persisting fundamentalism and racism.
