Moreover the rate of unemployment rapidly increased, resulting many jobless workers. The farmers also faced the similar economic crisis after the WWI. The farmers who were running their farms in Europe had great losses after the European farms revived. Americans also had to face a skyrocketing cost of living after the war. In 1920-21, the recession came and demobilization was one of the factors behind the recession.//__**

Many Americans were afraid of the communism in the nation. The great tension in the United States resulted the hostility toward foreigners and radicals. Many poor immigrants were forcibly deported without any evidence of the criminal actions. This was because many immigrants were part of the strikes and it made them look as the "Bolshevik's agents". Radicals gained hostility from many Americans because they were sending bombs to prominent citizens. The Palmer Raids was organized to stop the radicals' terror.**//__

OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS: 1) **How did the Republicans pro-business policies affect the U.S. economy? The Republicans pro-business policies affected the U.S. economy in positive ways, it turned government's annual budget deficit into a surplus, reducing national debt, and also caused industries to grow which led to economic growth. This was able to be achieved from the work by Harding's Administration. First, the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act contributed in raising up the profits for the U.S. manufacturers and also the Mellon Plan had successfully cut tax for rich Americans which led to increase rate of investments.

2)** Analyze how the emergence of the “New Woman” challenged Victorian values. Many women started supporting for Equal Rights Amendment which stated equal rights for both men and women. However, they faced many oppositions from reformers during Progressive Era because they believed that ERA was a threat to the special legislation regulating working hours and working condition for female workers which the reformers worked hard to achieve. However, the ERA supporters believed that these special legislation was actually a threat to female workers looking for jobs because businesses tend to not hire female workers because of their limitation of hours they were allowed to work. In result, ERA wasn't passed because it didn't win political support.

SECTION 2 POWERPOINT:

Clair = responsible for section 3 3. How did immigration and racial discrimination divide the nation? <span style="color: rgb(219, 20, 35);"> Examine rising racial tensions, the great northward migration of African-Americans, the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan, and the emergence of Garveyism. __**//As African-Americans moved northward in search of economic opportunities and in search of social equality, racial tensions grew. This led to violence, race riots, and finally, the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan. Ku Klux Klan kidnapped, beat, lynched many African Americans, and this terrorized the blacks. Many wanted to fight back. So to defend their rights and equality, African Americans started believing in a movement called Garveyism. Garveyism basically included black nationalism which was a belief that African Americans should build an independent nation on their own in Africa. It also wanted foster African American's economic independence//**__
 * objective 1:**

Analyze the factors that lead to Mexican immigration, immigration restriction in 1924, and the closing of the “Golden Door.” __//**The increasing immigration during 1920's angered many nativists because they believed that immigrants were taking away their jobs and that many of the immigrants were radicals. So citizens started demanding federal limits on immigration which led to immigration restriction in 1924. The immigration restriction first limited the number of immigrants from each coutry to quota of 3 percent for each nationality, and later quota of 2 percent. This basically closed the "Golden door" for many of the Europeans, Asians, and others that wanted to come to the United States. Hosever, the immigration restriction did not imply to Mexicans. Employers in the South part of U.S. liked the steady flow of workers to fill low-wage jobs. So this led to the Mexican immigration in which some 500,000 immigrants arrived from Mexico.**//__
