They were too busy enjoying the prosperity of the 1920s. American industry had expanded during the Great War, making weapons, uniforms, equipment etc. This expansion continued after the war, helped by America's massive reserves of raw materials and by high tariffs (import duties on foreign goods).Tariffs made foreign goods dearer, so American goods were bought. Some industries were also given subsidies (cash support), which increased their profits. So there was a boom(economic expansion).

Extractions: "The Anti-Saloon League from 1893 to 1933 was a major force in American politics. Influencing the United States through the printed word and lobbying, they turned a moral crusade into a Constitutional amendment. The League left a legacy of printed material at a site bequeathed to the Westerville Public Library which houses the Anti-Saloon League Museum. The Westerville Public Library in an effort to preserve and share the League's story has established this Web site with financial help from a grant provided by the State Library of Ohio. Beth Weinhardt, Local History Coordinator, selected and organized the documents, images, and publications and wrote the supporting text. Judi Behr, Computer Services, digitized the materials and wrote the HTML code for Web publication.

Extractions: Go to Brad DeLong's Home Page J. Bradford DeLong University of California at Berkeley and NBER February 1997 The end of World War I saw the United States retreat into isolation. The Senate refused to ratify the Versailles Peace Treaty that ended World War I. The U.S. failed to join the League of Nationsthe international organization that was the less-successful interwar predecessor of the United Nations. The U.S. raised tariffs early in the 1920s (although not to levels that appreciably discouraged imports). Most important, perhaps, the 1920s saw he end of free immigration into the United States. Migration from Asia had been restricted for several generations. Migration from Africa had never been an issue. But up until the mid-1920s migration from Europe had been unrestricted. More than 1.2 million immigrants had come to the U.S. in 1914. But once the immigration restrictions of the 1920s took effect, the overall total was fixed at only 160,000 or so immigrants a year. Moreover, different nations had different quotas. The quotas for immigrants from northern and western Europe were more than ample for the demand. The quotas for immigrants from southern and eastern Europe were very small. The United States tried to pretend that the rest of the world did not really exist. Its people turned inward, and they found that they had plenty to do. For in the 1920s the United States became a modern middle-class economy of radios, consumer appliances, automobiles and suburbs. Nearly thirty million motor vehicles were on the road in 1929, one for every five residents of the country. Mass production had made the post-World War I United States the richest society the world had ever seen.

PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Jazz In Time - Roaring Twenties

http://www.pbs.org/jazz/time/time_roaring.htm

Extractions: But for many of the millions of people for whom the 1920s never roared at all, fearful of such rapid change and nostalgic for the small-town America of the turn of the century, jazz music came to seem not merely an annoyance but a threat, one more cause of loosening morals and frightening dislocation. Ragtime had been bad enough, with its insinuating rhythms and daring couple-dancing, but the jumpy, rancorous version of New Orleans polyphony projected by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and many of its imitators seemed much worse. "As I understand it," said Professor Henry Van Dyck of Princeton University, "it is not music at all. It is merely an irritation of the nerves of hearing, a sensual teasing of the strings of physical passion. Its fault lies not in syncopation, for that is a legitimate device when sparingly used. But "jazz" is an unmitigated cacophony, a combination of disagreeable sounds in complicated discords, a willful ugliness and a deliberate vulgarity." The editor of Musical Courier reported on a poll of academically trained musicians: most found "the 'ad libbing' or 'jazzing' of a piece ... thoroughly objectionable," he said, "and several of them advanced the opinion that this Bolshevistic smashing of the rules and tenets of decorous music" spelled disaster for American music.

http://www.ffl.msu.ru/people/stitova/article2.html

Extractions: Once upon the time- actually it was about 3 years ago I wrote a short article for our magazine Hello!. The issue was devoted to American culture so my passage was about the 1920es the peculiar era in American history full of extraordinary events, revolutionary ideas, scandals, grandiose projects and masterpieces. As you understand at that time an on-line version of the magazine did not exist that s why it was not possible to describe even some major event of the period. Now you can read a revolutionized version of the same text, which is a hypertext with 22 useful multimedia links covering almost 400 pages. It is not a linear text anymore, it contains pointers that link one location to another. If you have access to the Internet you can go and visit places you have only read about, watch episodes from films, look through, for example, Hemingways archive, listen to jazz, read important Amendments adopted at that time and speeches of outstanding political figures, etc.. In other words, if you get hooked and really interested in this period of American history, you have a chance to go on reading pages of the sites on end because now you have the whole world under your fingerprints and you can move from one place to another without any obstacles. Just go and do it! Titova S.
