What happened in America during 1929?

Answer 1

America changed in many ways with fashion and entertainment sports and then we had innovations.

Fashions changed especially for women. Most woman started wearing trousers(jeans) and wore shirts(tank tops too.). The woman of the 1920's decided to be more like men and dress more like them too. Woman wore dresses for expensive things.

Fads changed to. A fad is something that someone does and it gets around and it becomes cool. So in the 1920's people found things like speeding and doing those daring games like chicken cool. They also found smoking cool. And since women were being treated more like men they also found smoking cool. Also children had things they found cool too. They had there own little fads.

Music changed during this time for Classical Music and opera to jazz and the blues like music. People started going to places like bars to hear this music and stopped going to places like an opera house to hear classical music. The people of the 1920' no longer had to go to the opera house now they could hear music at a party they through if they hired some people to play.

The entertainment was different they had the radio to listen to more music and to listen to Talk Shows so they didn't have to go to the place that person was speaking they could listen in the comfort of there own house. They also had a piano in there house maybe or one of the kids played sports so that kid taught the whole family and they would go to the park and play.

Sports were something newish. We have sports today like crochet and tennis and baseball, we also have, swimming, kickball, soccer, ice skating is even considered a sport. Some that were new in the 1920's were things like soccer and ice skating, baseball, kickball, Basketball, and hockey. People had new forms of entertainment.

Some times people refer to this exact period of time and call it "The Roaring 20's!" The reason is, because of all the new things happening during the 20's. The Roaring twenties also invented new forms of dancing. If you look at some of the pics they have from the 20's some involve people dancing.

We could go on for a while about what changed during the 1920's I just gave you a brief description though hope this helps!
