Coral's Stuff PEGS Political=18th Amendment prohibited the manufacture of alcohol. Volstead Act of 1919 was enacted to enforce the amendment.

Economic=Creation of the automobile was huge because it replaced the railroad as the main source of the transportation industry. It also caused other industries like steel and gas to depend on its success.

Geographical=Radio stations broadcasted news, sporting events etc. to millions of Americans all over the country. All over America, consumerism grew, and buying things on credit was offered. Chain stores also grew, threatening to make neighborhood stores go bankrupt.

Social=Gender roles still existed and women were expected to stay at home and be a mother. The new religion modernism was created and then fundamentalism was created to criticize the modernists.

PEGS - Connor
This is the way my first group and I did the PEGS; it works for me, but whatever works best for you guys is fine by me. Let me know what you think: P.S. I have to leave my house and won't be home until a while later. We need to make 3 mnemonic pictures each right? We should probably find a better way to communicate than by wiki. I got Facebook, email, and Skype, all of which we can use to talk

Mnemonics 18th amendment banned alcohol. People didn’t stop drinking and a huge uproar was caused. [|prohibition article] African Americans promoted black pride and changed the world of art.

Coertney's stuff
Pegs: P- Republican control; government supported big business all throughout '20s E- government accepted the idea that they needed to regulate business- not very much, but for health and safety reasons., business had a financial boom from 1919 to 1929 which eventually helped lead up to the depression. G- half of american population lived in urban areas; farmers were in debt and not making very much money because of overproduction and lowered prices on their crops. S- jazz became a poplar music style to rebel against the elders because it was african american music. More and more americans had electricity in their homes with fridges, vaccuum cleaners, and washing machines, which made housework easier.

Mnemonics: Jazz music was brought north by african americans, and was seen as the new and modern music. Coolidge was a man of few words. He rarely spoke about politics because he didn’t want to repeat himself.

Farmers had a hard time surviving because of low crop prices and overproduction.
