What positive and negative impact did the 1920's have on the us?
The Red Scare- The scare of a communist uprising, first one was 1919-1920 with the revolution in Russia, Immigrants brought in anarchy. 8 bombs in 8 different cities went of simultaneously, Palmer Raids- trying to rid the country of communists and send them back to where they were from, fear that U.S. government would become communist.
Anti-immigration- Did not want immigration coming in because they thought that they would over throw the government with anarchy or communism. Immigration was cut down greatly because of the scare of a revolution.
Airplanes- This time period made a huge advance on airplanes, airplane shows started with barnstorming also, transportation started with this, started to use for mail carrying. Charles Lindbergh was the first person to fly across the Atlantic ocean without stopping. Amelia Earhart- tried to fly all the way around the world but did not make it and was never seen again after that.
Automobiles- Car industries boomed in 1920s, Military personnel brought home cars from the war, cars became more accessible to the public and made transportation very much easier. Paved roads started showing up because many people started to own cars. This invention transformed America.
