=**The Roaring 20's: Unity and Division​ **=

Organizing Question To what extent was the Roaring 20's a decade of social harmony and economic prosperity?

The 1920's in America were a period of extraordinary change and innovation. Some Americans embraced change while others retaliated against an attack on their traditional values. A disillusioned America turned away from idealism after WWI and toward social conservatism, a new mass economy, and exciting new forms of popular culture that undermined many traditional values.
