The 1920s, often referred to as the "Roaring Twenties," were marked by significant cultural conflicts in the United States, primarily between traditional values and modernist perspectives. The rise of Jazz Music, flapper culture, and the Harlem Renaissance signaled a shift toward more liberal social norms, while the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and the religious fundamentalist movement, exemplified by the Scopes Trial, underscored a backlash against these changes. Additionally, Prohibition highlighted tensions between urban and rural values, as cities embraced nightlife and speakeasies, while many rural areas clung to conservative ideals. These conflicts reflected broader themes of social change, identity, and the struggle between progress and conservatism.

The main cause of cultural conflicts in the 1920s was the clash between traditional values and modernity, particularly in the wake of World War I. This era saw a rise in urbanization, the flapper culture, and new social norms that challenged established beliefs, particularly regarding gender roles, race, and religion. The backlash from conservative groups, exemplified by the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and the Scopes Monkey Trial, highlighted the tensions between progressive and traditionalist ideologies. Overall, the struggle between embracing modernity and holding onto traditional values fueled significant cultural discord during the decade.
