The 1920s did not have a bad economy, in fact the economy was so good that it caused the crash of 1929. America had just won WW1 and new products were being made. This created a delima because products were being produced so fast that the prices were rock bottom. I found this online:

The interwar period in the United States, and in the rest of the world, is a most interesting era. The decade of the 1930s marks the most severe depression in our history and ushered in sweeping changes in the role of government. Economists and historians have rightly given much attention to that decade. However, with all of this concern about the growing and developing role of government in economic activity in the 1930s, the decade of the 1920s often tends to get overlooked. This is unfortunate because the 1920s are a period of vigorous, vital economic growth. It marks the first truly modern decade and dramatic economic developments are found in those years. There is a rapid adoption of the automobile to the detriment of passenger rail travel. Though suburbs had been growing since the late nineteenth century their growth had been tied to rail or trolley access and this was limited to the largest cities. The flexibility of car access changed this and the growth of suburbs began to accelerate. The demands of trucks and cars led to a rapid growth in the construction of all-weather surfaced roads to facilitate their movement. The rapidly expanding electric utility networks led to new consumer appliances and new types of lighting and heating for homes and businesses. The introduction of the radio, radio stations, and commercial radio networks began to break up rural isolation, as did the expansion of local and long-distance telephone communications. Recreational activities such as traveling, going to movies, and professional sports became major businesses. The period saw major innovations in business organization and manufacturing technology. The Federal Reserve System first tested its powers and the United States moved to a dominant position in international trade and global business. These things make the 1920s a period of considerable importance independent of what happened in the 1930s.

This was the time period that Jazz began to arise. African Americans, like Louis Armstrong, helped popularize Jazz. But, it wasn't the African Americans that spread Jazz, it was the whites. The culture of a minority became the culture of a majority. First step towards equality.

The main point of contention within Wilson's 14 Points was Article 10, which guaranteed territorial integrity and political independence of all members within the League of Nations. Opponents to this plan felt that this condition would force Americans to fight the wars of foreigners. The main senator to object this point was Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Wilson's peace plan was a failed dream because he could not even get his own people to support it.

it is because above him 1940 class, this cartoon was set in the 1919 so in 1940 there will be another war in which that child be taking part after 21yrs. The cartonist was very accurate with his prediction as in fact WW2 broke out in 1939 so this child would have definately fought and most likely die in the war.

There weren't two particular policemen who tried to close down speakeasies (illegal drinking spots). Prohibition agents were responsible for raiding speakeasies, finding stills and arresting gangsters. Bribery was fairly high among these agents. Local police all over the country struggled to keep the locals in line.

Unions lost their appeal in the 1920's because much of the work force consisted of immigrants who could not speak English and spoke a variety of languages. This made it difficult for unions to organize various ethnicities. Also, many unions excluded African Americans.

Better answer: as union organizing spread after WWI and strikes became more common, US courts almost universally ruled unions illegal conspiracies, and strikes illegal intimidation and extortion. After hundreds of union members lost their jobs and went to jail, interest naturally declined.

In 1935, unionizing became LAWFUL, and its popularity soared.

The success of business in the 1920's led to the growth of the United States of America. The Industrial Revolution brought many immigrants to the United States in the early 1900's.
