Objectives: Students will:Explain and analyze America’s turn toward social conservatism and
normalcy following World War I.Describe the cultural conflicts of the 1920s over such issues as
immigration, cultural pluralism, and prohibition; and describe the rise of organized crime during the decade.
Describe the rise of Protestant Fundamentalism and its apparent defeat in the landmark Scopes Trial.
AP FocusConcerned about the success of the Bolshevik Revolution, the United
States, Britain, and other nations send troops to participate in the Russian Civil War in the hope of toppling Lenin’s communist government. Domestically, a systematic effort to suppress Bolsheviks, or reds, is launched. A political cartoon in The American Pageant (13th ed., p. 721/14th ed., p. 771) makes it abundantly clear that leftists have no place in American life.
Intolerance grows in the nation after World War I. A new and more virulent nativist strain emerges in the reborn Ku Klux Klan, which has expanded its influence across the nation.
To shrink immigration from certain areas of the world, a quota system is put in place. That and the Immigration Act of 1924 dramatically reduce eastern and southern European immigration.

CHAPTER THEMESA disillusioned America turned away from idealism and reform after World War I and toward isolationism in foreign affairs, domestic social conservatism, and the pleasures of prosperity.New technologies, mass-marketing techniques, and new forms of entertainment fostered rapid cultural change along with a focus on consumer goods. But the accompanying changes in moral values and uncertainty about the future produced cultural anxiety, as well as sharp intellectual critiques of American life.
