The 1920s, known as the "Roaring 20s", saw many cultural and political changes in America. Women gained the right to vote with the 19th amendment in 1920. Prohibition began in 1920 by banning alcohol but led to speakeasies and bootlegging. Americans embraced conspicuous consumption, buying new products like cars and radios using credit. Politically, Warren G. Harding was elected president in 1920 but his presidency was marked by scandals, and he died in 1923 being replaced by Calvin Coolidge. Culturally, the decade saw the rise of jazz music, the Harlem Renaissance, flappers, new slang, movies, radio and widespread interest in sports.
