Roaring Twenties Pros And Cons

-- The Roaring Twenties was always looked at and learned about as a time of wealth and celebration. Truly, it brought more disagreement than it brought success. MIgrational disputes were breaking out with many african americans traveling from the country in the south to the new cities in the North. Other problems were also beginning such as the Ku Klux Klan, an organized hate group that would attack people they didn’t believe were american or were fully equal. Wearing all white. they would go at night and burn crosses symbolizing their “light” of faith. It was a destructive and dangerous group. Prejudice was another event that was undeniably hard to work against and come through. This was a struggle also commonly called segregation.

It was inequality, disrespect, and unfairness. Mostly traded between different races. African Americans, Women, and Immigrants were ones that suffered it most. This pushing the concept of sit-ins and strikes. Earning more rights was what the “Roaring Twenties” were all about and just one thing of many it accomplished.
Roaring Twenties was not all bad, many good things came from it to. That way earning its name. Women earned their right to vote, jazz and blues music came to shine, and the nation's total wealth just about doubled from 1920-1929. Jazz and Blues music extended to the cities streets, roadhouses, and everywhere. It was a symbol of light and a new beginning. Some white families had even seen this as disturbing, too fast paced, and were setting a bad influence, but for black families and immigrants it gave them a voice and something to look forward to. Women's suffrage had changed after they fought and earned their right to vote in the 1920’s as well. “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex” (Nineteenth Amendment). That being a turning point of history and giving more people ideas of earning their rights and confidence.
