Urban to Rural

The main cause for the social, economic and political changes that happened in the 1920s was World War 1. This massive change pushed new ideals onto American society. Urban areas, cities and suburbia, embraced the changes and scorned tradition. They opposed things like the Prohibition, and were very liberal about drinking gambling, women’s clothing. Rural areas were the opposite. They had a negative view of African Americans and immigrants in American society. They held up tradition and tried to stick to the old values.
