LIFESTYLE History

The 1920s was a period of dramatic social, economic, and political change in American history. The nation celebrated freedom from war but was still haunted by its weight. Peacetime prosperity raised the standard of living for millions, and the country's total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929. It was also the first time more Americans lived in cities than on farms, and people took to the dance floor to do the Charleston. But it wasn't all glitz and glamour, as Prohibition resulted in lawlessness and organized crime, and racial tensions brewed below the surface.
