However, it wasn’t solely because of this that the Great Depression took place. It is said that “a combination of domestic and worldwide conditions led to the…

The Red Scare affected the American view on immigration because they wanted to place more limits on it. They did this by using the Immigration Act of 1924. This enforced a quota system that controlled the amount of people entering the country. It limited the annual immigration to 164,447 people (“Immigration Act, 1924”). Americans believed that Russians were the ones who were trying to spread their communist beliefs, so that is why they didn’t want many foreigners entering the country. Also,…

Nobody is born with characteristics of a hero, such as: fortitude, benevolence, vigor, or empathy. These characteristics blossom inside a person over time and life experiences. The quote, “Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.”, by Calvin Coolidge tells us that heroism is something that is shown when a specific person is thrown into a situation.

Young and carefree, the flapper was the greatest and most influential symbol of the age because the attitudes of many women transformed and…

His law partner William Herndon described Lincoln in this way: “His melancholy dripped from him as he walked.” Calvin Coolidge lost his favourite son Calvin while in office. Following his son’s death Coolidge showed extreme symptoms of depression including fatigue, guilt and loss of appetite, and spent much of his time sleeping or napping. After a strong start to his presidency, he was considered a very…

The Roaring Twenties was a decade known widely for its flapper girls and jazz music, but it was so much more. For the first time, more Americans were living in cities rather than farms, women had the right to vote, and it was becoming a consumer society. The decade also witnessed a time of prosperity; wealth was up and employment was down. The 20s saw some of the biggest social and political changes, changes that were very different from the ones desired the decade before. By failing to lessen…

What was thought to be a family myth was confirmed by a Lincoln exhibition which uncovered the story of a historical exchange of letters between 11 year old Grace Bedell, and Abraham Lincoln, addressed on October 15, 1860. At the time of Lincoln’s running for office, young Grace Bedell thought it upon herself to advise Lincoln that he would have much more voter appeal if he grew a beard. She supported this cause by suggesting that, “All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their…
