The New Era of the Twenties

The "War to end War" was over. Americans found a new era of prosperity amid far-reaching social change, at least in urban areas. The census taken in 1920 revealed that for the first time, more Americans lived in cities than in rural areas.
While many Americans embraced change, a large portion of the population wanted to retain traditional values.
