Decade - 1920s

Family life changed during the 1920's for the better of the children. New laws were being passed that stated children could not work in factories or the coal mines. This interrupted the family finances, though, because what little income the children made was taken away. People were just starting to adjust to this when the Stock Market crashed and the United States fell into a Great Depression late in the 1920's.

The 1920s were called the roaring twenties due to the post-war prosperity that occurred as soldiers returned home (after a small recession when wartime production ceased). Credit was widely available so people could live above their means, trusting in continued prosperity to enable them to eventually pay off their debt. As well, great social change occurred in terms of women's place in society.

The wages of men in the 1800s: The average wage earner only made $16.00 a week. Some traders only made two, three, four, or six dollars a week the women really weren't allowed to work except rare cases way back then *** The value of money was much different in the 1800's where a penny was considered a large amount of money and people often worked for a week to make a nickle or dime (at least in North America) It was not until the early to mid 1900's that money began increasing in deomination rapidly such as $5, $10, $100, $1000, $10000 etc. ---- Women didn't generally getwages in the 1800's..those were highly sexist times

There were several major problems. The biggest one was segregation. Up north, Negroes (as they were called back then) had more opportunities, but things still were not completely, or even partially, equal; many neighborhoods did not want black residents and many professions refused to hire even the most qualified black people. Still, up north at least black people could attend a wide range of colleges and many did enter professions that had previously been mostly white. Some even found success in the arts, during the so-called Harlem Renaissance, and many white people respected and admired the work of these black musicians, sculptors, painters, and playwrights. But down south, segregation prevented most black people from advancing and it limited their professional opportunities. It also could get them killed: too often, black people (men especially) were denied even a semblance of justice. A negro was often accused of having committed a crime, and without any evidence or proof, they were arrested and confined; if the charges were serious enough (such as accusations of rape of a white woman), mobs would come and get the prisoner and lynch him.

Another source of black frustration was lack of economic opportunity during the Great Depression. Even government jobs during the Roosevelt administration either paid black people less than whites or excluded them entirely. Further, the governments of too many states continued to accept and in some cases defend segregation. There was even a failure in the US Congress to pass laws against lynching. As much as some black people up north and in certain big cities in the Midwest were living far better lives than they had when they were in the south, most felt the country did not respect or accept them for who they were. Black newspapers of that era constantly editorialized about the patronizing and contemptuous treatment black people lived with on a regular basis. But things did not seem to be changing, and many Negroes wondered if they ever would.

Because everything in the culture was changing. Cars and planes were being generated; radios were coming alive; films were being created, though they were silent; but more than all of that, women were changing big time. Women began to wear more revealing clothes, make-up, excessive jewlery, and cut their hair short. They even began to wear bathing suits with skirts that came inches above the knee (gasp). Birth control was also becoming popular and more and more people taked about sex in public, something totally unheard of.

Immigrants during the 1920's were welcomed warmly because at that time there was a need in the industry of the workforce. Thus welcoming more immigrants is an advantage.

It is possible that Stalin could have continued it and industrialized under it, but it was too hard already under his current Communist regime. The NEP and its underlying capitalist values just could not let Stalin's power remain as effective.
