President Warren G. Harding promised a return to normalcy after World War I. Elected in 1920, he aimed to restore stability and comfort to American society following the upheaval of the war and the tumultuous years that followed. His campaign emphasized a shift away from progressive reforms and a focus on traditional values and economic growth. Harding's idea of "normalcy" resonated with many Americans seeking peace and prosperity.
After a grueling World War I, while the rest of the world lay in shambles the United States had come out on top. Once a demigod amongst politicians, Woodrow Wilson, the president who had ideologically led the nation into and through the first global war, was scheduled for a humbling. His ideals were spurned and his popularity plummeted. Time was up for international ideals. In the elections of 1920, Warren G. Harding stepped up to the plate and announced that it was time for American to "return back to normalcy." This campaign appealed to those who had disliked US participation in the war and gave a sense of status-quo to war-weary veterans. As idealistic as Wilson had made the Great War to be, the American people were tired of it. This "return to normalcy" campaign paid off and Harding took office in 1921, beginning an era of massive economy growth.
