In the 1920s did cars have a major influence on Americans?

Yes, cars in the 1920's had an enormous influence on Americans Because of cars, roadside restaurants and hotels/motels were established because people needed a place to sleep and eat if they were on the road for awhile, and this also caused a boom in gas stations. In the city, teens had the privilege to get away from their parents if they were on a date, and did so often. Auto makers, both here and in Europe, created cars for the rich, luxury cars and limousines. However, cars were also a bad influence on people.

In the 1920's who invented gum?

Believe it or not, chewing gum in various forms has existed since at least the Neolithic period. 5,000 year old chewing gum with tooth imprints, made of birch bark tar, has been found in Finland. The bark tar of which the gums were made is believed to have antiseptic properties and other medicinal advantages. The ancient Mayans used chicle as a base for making a gum-like substance. Women in particular used this gum as a mouth freshener. Also, the Florentine Codex refers to the use of chicle by women.

Forms of chewing gums were also used in Ancient Greece. The Greeks chewed mastic gum, made from the resin of the mastic tree. Many other cultures have chewed gum-like substances made from plants, grasses, and resins. The American Indians chewed resin made from the sap of spruce trees. The New England settlers picked up this practice, and in the early 1880s attempts were made to commercially market spruce gum. Around 1850 a gum made from paraffin wax was developed and soon exceeded the spruce gum in popularity. Modern chewing gum was first developed in the 1860s when chicle was imported from Mexico for use as a rubber substitute. Chicle did not succeed as a replacement for rubber, but as a gum it soon dominated the market. Chicle gum, and gum made from similar latexes, had a smoother and softer texture and held flavor better.

In 1848, John B. Curtis developed and sold the first commercial chewing gum called The State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum.

William Semple filed the first patent on chewing gum on December 28, 1869.

How were African Americans treated in the 1920s?

During the 1930s black were already discriminated against and when the country hit the Great Depression it only got worse. White male employment was the first priority to many so blacks would have a hard time finding jobs. They often lived in the poorest districts and were paid less than white people doing the same job. Futher-more during the 1930s there was still segregation in almost everything from waterfountains to which door you could walk into. After the Great Depression few blacks could find work and only 5% of blacks have 'well paid' jobs compared to 30% of whites. Also in President Rooservelt made an anti-lynching Bill however it was attacked by the southern politicians and six weeks later it was removed.

Not all was bad for the Black Americans since in the 30s the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) Provided 200,000 jobs for black people.

However despite this things did not really improve for the black Americans till the Second World War when with the Double V campaign alot of black Americans gained more equal rights in the work place and also at the start of the war all the armed forces were segregated however by 1945 there are 600 black pilots in the air force and in 1946 the Navy is desegregated and all the forces are desegregated by 1947.

What does hep mean in the 1920's?

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the

liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which

reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus

became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from

ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www. ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their

treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after

the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing

treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
