Unit+13+-+The+1920s+-+12-13

__Unit Overview__
toc In this very brief unit, we'll look at the numerous social changes that took place during the 1920s. In many ways, it was an extension of conservatism as prohibitions finally "won" their battle over the evil influences of alcohol. In other ways, it was the dawn of a new liberalization of the American society as the jazz age was introduced, flappers challenged the social norms for women during the time period, and the debate over the origins of the human species intensified, especially in public schools. We'll examine the factors that allowed for these changes to take place during this time period despite President Harding calling for a "Return to Normalcy."
