Blog #21-the 1920s


The 1920s were a time of success through medical and technological advances, an increase in women's rights, and many new literary achievements.  However, it was also a time of increased organized crime and a rise in the KKK.  Pick one thing from the 20s that was a positive or one that was a negative and explain how these helped or hurt the U.S.  Remember, anything can be considered a positive or negative if you fully support it!

Have fun!
