The socio-economic context of TEWWG
showed a period of time known as the “Florida Land Boom”. This was a period of
movement throughout Florida, which nearly abandoned some cities. Many people
moved to Miami and other tropical locations of Florida because it seemed like
the ideal place in America, it was almost a paradise to some.
Presidents
during when TEWWG was based were Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. The
politics during this time period was when the 18Th Amendment was
passed and added to the constitution. The amendment was the prohibition of
alcohol and the laws were extremely hard to enforce onto people. The focus on
politics at the time was ending racial disagreement, as equality was rare
during these times.
The
arts in America started to boom during this time period. The “Jazz Age” was
given birth. Jazz music was mostly based in the south and became the most
popular with the African-American community. Many men came home from WWI during
this time and it gave the U.S. a gigantic economic boom. Common citezens were
able to enjoy the vast luxuries of life. Baseball was also a big part of this
time period. Babe Ruth was a major factor in promoting the game and making it
popular for Americans.
