What was America like 100 years ago?

A century ago, in the 1920s, America was experiencing significant social and cultural changes, often referred to as the Roaring Twenties. The economy was booming, marked by industrial growth and the rise of consumer culture, with Jazz Music and flapper fashion symbolizing a shift in social norms. However, this era also faced challenges, including widespread inequality and the beginnings of the Great Depression by the decade's end. Prohibition, which banned alcohol, further shaped the social landscape, leading to the rise of speakeasies and organized crime.
