A difficult past
The 19th century was a time of immense change in North and South America. In the US, the gold rush spurred westward expansion and immigration, displacing native peoples. Canada gained independence gradually through negotiations. The 'Little Ice Age' impacted weather patterns in Europe between 1645-1850. Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase expanded US territory and influence. Explorers like Prince Alexander and Karl Bodmer documented native cultures of the expanding American frontier. The US Civil War was fought over the issues of states' rights and slavery, with the North eventually achieving victory under Lincoln, leading to the Emancipation Proclamation.
Behind the scenes of the Great Gatsby
The document provides historical context for F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby by describing the social and economic environment of the 1920s in the United States. After World War I, the US economy boomed as soldiers returned home with money to spend, ushering in the Roaring Twenties era of materialism, jazz music, women's liberation, and prohibition. New technologies like the automobile and advertising proliferated, while organized crime profited from illegal alcohol and gambling during prohibition. This cultural milieu influenced Fitzgerald's acclaimed novel exploring excess and the American Dream.
