What were the signs that the prosperity of the 1920s was superficial or misleading

History

Hatshy [7]3 years ago
7 0
Most of the signs of prosperity that were misleading involved credit. There were so many consumer goods that had never been around before, and people bought a lot of them with credit, meaning they did not actually have the money. "Buying on the Margin" was the main cause of all this and led to the Great Depression. Before the stock market crash in 1929, around 90% of stocks people owned were bought with borrowed money. In short, people used way too much credit, meaning they had a lot of items signifying wealth, but they did not have the money to pay back banks, stock brokers, etc... much like modern day credit cards.

During colonial times outside of New England, education was 
riadik2000 [5.3K]
A
Particularly in the southern colonies, education tended to be reserved for the gentry and upper-class people (plantation owners mainly). Slaves were not educated; in fact, it was illegal to teach slaves to read or write. This stemmed from the fact that a large portion of education involved the Bible, slaves who read the Bible could be expected to convert to Christianity, and Christians are forbidden to enslave one another by their religion. Significant social and economic inequality persisted in the South well into the 20th century.
