High & Low Lights of ‘The Roaring 20s’
Manage episode 445842020 series 3592033
With the Great War’s end, our soldiers returned to a changed country - even though President Harding claimed we would return to “Normalcy.” Let’s try to understand why this decade is described as ‘Roaring.’ And what was with the idea of prohibiting people from drinking alcohol? Model Ts morphed to Model As, Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic, Babe Ruth smacked home runs, and the economy was the best yet!
If you want to have a fuller background to the material in our series, please consider purchasing the workbook I wrote for my high school history classes, Modern United States History, published by Canon Press, in Moscow, Idaho. But whether you get the workbook or just listen, I think you will enjoy the stories and hopefully gain some insights into U.S. history, which is indeed His story!
Thanks for listening - Tom Garfield
