<p> Unit 10 Organizer: The 1920s</p><p>The Big Picture: The end of World War I led America into a decade of wealth, prosperity, and social change known as the “Roaring Twenties.” America’s “return to normalcy” meant a retreat into neutrality and return of laissez-faire policies and encouragement of business growth. Mass production and new technologies led to an increase in consumer goods, urbanization, new forms of transportation such as the automobile and airplane, new forms of entertainment such as radios and “talking” movies, and an increase in standard of living for most citizens. African-Americans and women experienced new cultural opportunities. However, fears of such rapid social and cultural changes, especially changes in American cities, led to an anti-socialist “Red Scare,” a rise in nativism and new immigration restrictions, and a commitment to religious fundamentalism. </p><p>Last Unit: Current Unit: Next Unit: U.S. Foreign Policy & World War I The 1920s The Great Depression & New Deal (1898—1919) (1920—1929) (1929-1941) Activities, Skills and Assessments : Key Terms and Phrases: 1.
