The 1920s was called various names such as "The Jazz Age," the Age of Intolerance," and the "Age of Nonsense." But perhaps the most telling was the "Roaring Twenties." It was the beginning of modern America, in politics, arts, customs and fads, literature, sports, etc. Americans felt a relief following the Great War. The nation had survived the deadly worldwide influenza epidemic of 1918. The Twenties was a time of change for just about all the population. Youthful "Flapper" women provoked the older generation by smoking in public, wearing brief skirts, bobbed hair styles, and the use of lots of makeup. New fads included the Charleston dance, dance marathons, flagpole sitting, and flying stunts in the new airplanes. The affordability of radio provided entertainment in the living room. Many sports became "spectator sports" with Baseball and Babe Ruth perhaps being the biggest. Business continued to grow and outward appearances seemed to indicate no slowdown in site. More new products were developed and the consumer was given the opportunity to buy these products "on time." Government seemed unwilling to try too much regulation for fear of upsetting the economic boom.
