I. ABSTRACT The Twenties in the United States began with the Red Scare, which was fueled by many Americans’ fearful reactions to the growth of Communism in Russia. Additionally, twentieth century Americans were dealing with new heroes, Jazz, racism, Prohibition, the assembly line, and the growth of movies and radio. All was well when the stock market soared and the speakeasies poured, the Charleston and flappers were in vogue. The Harlem Renaissance was an exciting time with new musicians like Ellington and Armstrong, and writers with the likes of Fitzgerald and Hemingway. Then things began to go wrong. “Black Tuesday” changed the security most Americans were enjoying. This led the way for new heroes to help recover from The Great Depression.
