My favorite Era, the Roaring Twenties; where parties, and the culture of jazz and luxury came about in the culture aspect. The consumption of booze, jazz, and how urban the cities were getting started a new era. Flappers were the symbolism of these kinds of parties, and promoted the wealth of the rich through their high class societies and urban lifestyle. For me, personally I took this particular chapter into fascination because of the glitz and glamor during this Prosperity Decade.
By this time, the Progressive spirit has died, except in one aspect which was the Progressive Party in 1924, but died shortly after. Though there was a bit of a postwar recession, that didn't stop from new inventions and lavished advertising which drove the economy forward. This is when media started finally getting huge, through the radio, newspaper, etc. I found this interesting due to their post war dilemma, and still found ways to have the economy flowing again. These were obviously no longer the hardship times, but rather a new way to start moving forward and having the sense of ownership of the US again.
