  8. THE ROARING 20s – AMERICANS BECOME RICH The 1920s were an age of dramatic social and political change. For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than on farms. The nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, and this economic growth swept many Americans into an affluent but unfamiliar “consumer society.” People from coast to coast bought the same goods (thanks to nationwide advertising and the spread of chain stores), listened to the same music, did the same dances and even used the same slang!

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT KNEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR RURAL GEORGIANS TO BE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY BECAUSE HE HAD A HOME KNOWN AS “THE LITTLE WHITE HOUSE” IN WARM SPRINGS, GEORGIA THAT HE USED TO HELP TREAT HIS POLIO MEDICAL CONDITION. SO, ONE OF THE NEW DEAL PROGRAMS HE CREATED WAS THE RURAL ELECTRIFICATION ADMINISTRATION (REA), WHICH IMPROVED THE LIVING CONDITIONS IN RURAL AREAS OF AMERICA.
