Bailey: The new type of music called jazz developed in the United States, and inspired new, crazy dance moves. New dances evolved in the Roaring Twenties including the Charleston, the Black Bottom, the Shimmy, Turkey trot, Cake walk, Bunny hop, the Lindy Hop and the American Tango. The old dances such as the waltz and the foxtrot were also popular. A new phenomenon known as Marathon dances also swept in the country.

Jackson: What many young people wanted to do was dance: the Charleston, the cake walk, the black bottom, the flea hop. Jazz bands played at dance halls like the Savoy in New York City and the Aragon in Chicago; radio stations and phonograph records (100 million of which were sold in 1927 alone) carried their tunes to listeners across the nation. Some older people objected to jazz music’s “vulgarity” and “depravity” (and the “moral disasters” it supposedly inspired), but many in the younger generation loved the freedom they felt on the dance floor.

Taylor: The Roaring Twenties caused the aftermath of World War 1 when young people wanted to forget the horrors of what happened and go back to having a happy life. Woman had a new level of independence, were allowed to attend to collage, earning wages, and given the right to vote. People went from country living to crowed cities. Automobiles were sold for millions and Americans drove around in their new cars. All of these were in the Roaring Twenties.

Jackson: People from coast to coast bought the same goods (thanks to nationwide advertising and the spread of chain stores), listened to the same music, did the same dances and even used the same slang! Many Americans were uncomfortable with this new, urban, sometimes racy “mass culture”; in fact, for many–even most–people in the United States, the 1920s brought more conflict than celebration. However, for a small handful of young people in the nation’s big cities, the 1920s were roaring indeed. During the 1920s, many Americans had extra money to spend, and they spent it on goods such as ready-to-wear clothes and home appliances like electric refrigerators.

Also after the world war the women got better rights because they played a huge part in helping the U.S when the men were away at war.The Roaring Twenties caused the aftermath of World War 1 when young people wanted to forget the horrors of what happened and go back to having a happy life.

Taylor: During the 1920s it was illegal to sell any “intoxication beverages” with more than 0.5% alcohol. Also during this time alcohol was outlawed and people went to speakeasies to get alcohol and they were hidden so no one can find them to shut them down.
