Cultural Confrontations of the 1920’s: KKK, Scopes Trial

Culture of the 1920s against the 1920s was an era of change in the United States. After the First World War, a shortened progressive movement when the United States entered World War I, brought new cultural, social and artistic vibrancy. The definition over the past 10 years has shifted from rural agricultural life in large cities to industrialization. Transplant and transition from traditional family values ​​or former generation to happy consumerism and big city lives is faster than any other change in social life.

In the 1920s, KKK (the KKK) came back and slowly strengthened. KKK does not like black people, Catholics, Jews and foreigners. KKK killed a lot of people. At this point in 1920, KKK had about 2,000 members of the citizen. By 1924, there were millions of KKK members nationwide 2 These KKK members threatened people different from them. Just as prices rose, wages fell sharply. A US steel company cut wages down to 30 cents in an hour before the war. I can not survive with this salary. Overall movement is in the south, hoping to lower the price of clothing items. By 1929, 60% of people's income has fallen below the level needed for survival. 49% of people affected by the agricultural depression live in rural areas

In the southern city there were leaders who built KKK in the night in the darkness of the house of Thomas Jefferson of Monticello. It was in the 1920s. A white robe wrapped in a hat hidden in the historical society was brought out this week to show the reality. Last time I think that "blowing out clothes". The cruel reality of the past reminds me that Congress bravely passed the law to eliminate discrimination and began to make a real country of "freedom and justice for all". The current Congress does not show such courage. Indeed, for our citizens and our resources, most people seem to want to be completely changed and fear. They do not wear robes. They are covered with patriotic propaganda

Both gatherings held the torch and conducted a night demonstration around the statue, causing a flashback reflecting the reappearance of KKK in the 1920s. Actually, in July KKK held a meeting in a nearby judicial park to protest the demolition of the same statue. On Friday evening, they first gathered at Charlottesville to join the clan meeting at a ticket torch without food and planned to hold a larger event on Saturday afternoon. The regular meeting on Saturday is scheduled at noon, but the emergency situation has to be announced at 11 am and never been held. The US Army, Allied Forces, and even some Nazi cross flag flags were all brought by the Gathering Group. Because of the increase in violence during the hatred of Caucasian supremacist groups and protesters against the Nazis, the police must close the rallies. This type of violence is common in meetings held before "legitimate rights", such as multiple meetings in Berkeley, California.
