Well, many things happened during the 1920s. America had just ended the Progressive Era which was full of political changes such as the secret ballot, prohibition, direct election of senators, and direct primaries. The progressives also instituted an income tax (16th amendment) and gave women the right to vote (19th amendment). Many negative changes also occured such as the Red Scare, a post-war recession which eventually led to the Sotck Market Crah in 1929 and a rebirth of the KKK. There was also two major court cases: The Sacco and Vanzetti Trials which accused two immigrants of communism without evidence, and the Scopes Trial which covered the issue of evolution in schools.
