Jazz originated in the early 1900s and became popular in the 1920s, known as the Jazz Age. It developed from African musical traditions brought by slaves to the US and was performed in dance halls and nightclubs. Common jazz instruments of the era included the saxophone, which produced lively beats and rhythms. Famous jazz composers like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, John Coltrane, and Betty Carter helped popularize the new musical style, though some viewed jazz as inappropriate.

The 1920s saw economic prosperity in the United States driven by new technologies like the automobile, mass-produced by Henry Ford using assembly lines, and installment buying, which let consumers purchase expensive goods without full payment up front. However, this led many to take on more debt than they could handle. When the stock market crashed in 1929, wiping out stock values, businesses closed and Americans lost their jobs en masse, plunging the country into the Great Depression with unemployment reaching 33%.

Prohibition was the banning of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1920 to 1933 as a result of the 18th Amendment. Temperance movements in the 1800s led to the Lever Food and Fuel Control Act in 1917 temporarily banning breweries and distilleries during World War I. The 18th Amendment permanently banned the sale and production of alcohol nationwide in 1920 in hopes of improving health and reducing crime. However, people broke this law by making homemade liquor, frequenting underground speakeasies, and smuggling alcohol from Canada. Politicians and even President Harding admitted to drinking during Prohibition. The 21st Amendment in 1933 repealed the 18th Amendment, ending the "Noble Experiment" of ProhibitionThe New Deal(2)

Jazz music originated from the blues music of African slaves brought to America. Blues songs expressed the sadness and struggles of slavery through improvised vocals and instruments like guitar or banjo. In New Orleans, blues, ragtime, and snippets of European classical music blended together to form early jazz. Instruments like saxophone, clarinet, and trombone became popular in jazz. Louis Armstrong was an influential early jazz trumpeter and bandleader in the 1920s who helped develop jazz styles in Chicago and New York. Later, jazz flourished in cities like Kansas City in the 1930s-40s before evolving into cool jazz and West Coast jazz styles in the 1950s that were milder and more technically composed.Jass music

The Hoover Dam was constructed between 1921 and 1935 at a cost of $49 million. It stands 726 feet tall and required over 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete. To prevent cracking as the concrete cured, it was poured in stages with steel pipes circulating cold water. This created Lake Mead behind the dam. When completed in 1935, it was the largest dam in the world and harnesses the Colorado River to generate electricity through 17 turbines.The hoover dam 3

Ferdinando Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were Italian immigrants and anarchists who were convicted of murder in Massachusetts in 1921. With little solid evidence, they were arrested for an armed robbery where a guard and paymaster were killed. Eyewitnesses were uncertain and the only hard evidence was that Sacco's gun was similar to the one used in the crime. Their conviction caused widespread unrest as many believed it was an unjust verdict due to the anti-radical political climate of the time. After their conviction, both Sacco and Vanzetti were sentenced to death.Kkkoriginal
