The 1920s in the U.S. were marked by a period of political conservatism and economic prosperity, often referred to as the "Roaring Twenties." The decade saw the presidency of Warren G. Harding, followed by Calvin Coolidge, both of whom promoted pro-business policies and a return to normalcy after World War I. There was also a rise in isolationism and a crackdown on Immigration, alongside cultural shifts such as the Harlem Renaissance and increasing consumerism. However, political scandals, such as the Teapot Dome scandal, revealed corruption within the government, casting a shadow over the era's perceived prosperity.
