Answer 1

Answer: A

Answer 2

Answer: A good answer will include three of the following:
1. Many African Americans moved from the South to cities in the North. They continued to struggle economically, even though they were doing better than they had been in the South.
2. Female reformers had some success initially with things like the Sheppard-Towner Act, but these advances were ended by the start of the 1930s.
3. Wealthy young people in urban areas experienced the Jazz Age and novelties like the flapper, but overall culture did not change that much, even for the young.
4. Fundamentalists had much to rail against, including fighting for an end to the teaching of evolution. They only had limited success.
5. For the most part, novelists and poets lamented the excess of the 1920s and the depravity of the times. They did not have that much of an effect, but produced great literature for the future.
6. Celebrities were kings and queens and were much loved. People like Babe Ruth and Clara Bow were among the greatest American royalty.
7. Union members generally lost ground as their power was undercut. Most industrial workers were still not doing well by the end of the 1920s.

Answer 3

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Mechanization distanced the American worker from his job in the 1920s and produced unhappy workers.
2. Consumerism encouraged mass buying even when people could not afford the items they wanted.
3. Advertising encouraged more consumption and encouraged the rise of a mass culture.
4. The boom in the auto industry led to the suburbs and encouraged the rise of many related industries.
