This week we continued looking at the 1920's which concluded on thursday with our quiz. Monday-Wed we finished looking at the Harlem Ren. We also looked at the Red Scare and Trials of Sacco and Vanzetti. We briefly talked about Superficial Prosperity from the book and how it collided we people having a ton of new opportunities to purchase things but how that conflicted with having to purchase it on credit. Buying things on credit allowed everyone to have all they desired but what consequences will come with that? At the end of wed students quickly looked at women and it's changing role in America.
On friday we began looking at the great depression with the stock market crashing and banks closing. We finished by using the book to look at all the causes of the depression and how it was a perfect storm all at once.
