| | Roaring Twenties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The United States, and to a lesser degree Canada, became more xenophobic or, at least, anti-immigrant during the Roaring Twenties. | | | The President of France bestowed on him the French Legion of Honor and, on his arrival back in the United States, a fleet of warships and aircraft escorted him to Washington, D.C., where President Calvin Coolidge awarded him the Distinguished Flying Cross. | | | In both Canada and the United States, the federal governments did the reverse, using the decade to pay down war debts and roll back some of the taxes that had been introduced during the war. |

| | Into the midst of the chaos of that Depression came the next imposing figure we will study: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. | | | In the legal arena, the court system began slowly to dismantle the legal segregation that began in the aftermath of Reconstruction, but full liberation for Black people was still a long time away. | | | His New Deal program was the most ambitious legislative program ever taken by a President to that time, and while it did not really end the Depression, Roosevelt's New Deal changed the face of American government forever. |

| | The Roaring Twenties (1939) |
| | This last of the gangster films in the 30s, with James Cagney in the thinly-disguised (and humanized) lead role, was based upon the real-life rise and fall of New York mobster/racketeer Larry Fay who had a business relationship with his brassy, frowsy saloon singer-promoter and hostess Texas Guinan (Gladys George's role as Panama Smith). | | | Hellinger's prohibition saga, originally entitled The World Moves On, was based on his experiences as a New York news-reporter during the Roaring 20s, and his familiarity with the illegal clubs of the day (i.e., the Hotsy-Totsy, Dizzy, and Blackbottom). | | | The Roaring Twenties (1939) is action director Raoul Walsh's first gangster film (and first film for Warner Bros.). |

| | PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Jazz in Time - Roaring Twenties |
| | Twenty years earlier, many whites had deplored ragtime in part because it was based on black songs and dances, just as their descendants would one day denounce rock 'n' roll because of its links to the African-American blues tradition. | | | Ragtime had been bad enough, with its insinuating rhythms and daring couple-dancing, but the jumpy, rancorous version of New Orleans polyphony projected by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and many of its imitators seemed much worse. | | | But for many of the millions of people for whom the 1920s never roared at all, fearful of such rapid change and nostalgic for the small-town America of the turn of the century, jazz music came to seem not merely an annoyance but a threat, one more cause of loosening morals and frightening dislocation. |
