Written Assignment 7

“The Roaring ‘20s” are remembered as the “Jazz Age,” a time of bootleg gin, speakeasies, and organized crime. But at the same time, it was a decade of immigration restrictions, fundamentalist religion, and the decade that the Ku Klux Klan had its greatest influence. How can these seemingly contradictory impulses be reconciled? What role did the transition to consumer-driven capitalism play? These questions should be addressed in a 2-3 page paper, double-spaced, with conventional 1 inch margins. This assignment is due at the beginning of class next Wednesday, February 29.
