1920's





The 1920s was a fun time in American history and was even coined the name the roaring 20s. Many events happened in the era of the 1920s. Such as silent movies were dominant in American social lives but Americans were introduced to movies with sound.
In politics the American Presidents that were elected were Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921),Warren G. Harding (1921-1923), Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929), Herbert Hoover (1929-1933)
In the 1920s sports "National Football League formed; baseball's Negro National League formed; Babe Ruth sold to New York Yankees and hits 54 home runs, signalling the arrival of the lively ball era in baseball; Cleveland Indians' shortstop Ray Chapman is killed by a Carl Mays pitch"

  1. Good start for first post. Try to make post a little longer, and your images need to fit on the page. You also might want to change the font color-it is really hard to read. Good pics. Work on theme for 2nd post. 75/75
