An argument can be made for both decades as having a greater impact on the development of US society. Viewing both decades in comparison to US society in 2017, it could be said that the 1920s was more impactful, in the sense that the US in 2017 looks a lot more like 1927 than 1937.
In the 1920s, the country was a war-weary nation that was in the process of turning inward, figuring out its identity following a costly war which didn't directly affect Americans. The result was the election of a questionably qualified Republican president who said that a return to normalcy, to the America of old, was what the nation needed. He pursued heavier tariffs and policies that would withdraw America from the world stage.
The nation was enjoying a soaring stock market setting all time records on a near daily basis. There was a great deal of inequality, and in the absence of a cohesive national vision/identity, people turned to false idols of status, partying, and conspicuous opulence to find meaning and fulfillment. Many illegal drugs, such as marijuana and alcohol at the time, were consumed openly and in large quantities despite their illegality.
Everything written above could be said of the United States in 2017. Let's hope that the parallels do not continue into the 9th year of the decade, when an epic stock market crash led to over a decade of economic disaster in the United States.
I believe the leader is Eugene Debs.
Answer:
American society faced many hardships when political opponents were turned anti-nationalist using the communist tag during the Cold war era.
Explanation:
The second Red Scare refers to the period in the history of the United States when fear of communism had penetrated the society during the early periods of the Cold War. House Un-American Activities Committee, the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, and McCarthy's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations were key congressional investigative committees. Those committee leaders and their employees collaborated with the FBI to recognize and prosecute suspected communists.
McCarthy was a young Wisconsin senator who stunned the nation in 1950 when he alleged to have information that large numbers of communists managed to hold prominent positions in the State Department. He and other Republicans would use these arguments for the next two years to pressure out the Truman administration, and the anti-communist agenda played a key factor for their landslide win in the 1952 election. However, no evident proof soon made him a liability for his party, and his influence started to fade away.
Answer:
Greek slaves were owned by individuals, while helots were owned by the state.
Explanation:
Slavery was common among Athenians as they used thousands of slaves to work in their private homes, factories and mines. Slaves captured in war and came from all over the Mediterranean. Slaves were the property of their master. A slave owner could sell, rent, give or leave them. A slave could have a family but not acknowledged by the state, and the master could divide the family members at per his wishes.
Helots were state-owned slaves. There were very much in practice in the ancient Spartans. They were specified to work in a piece of land. They also forced to work in fields as they were serf.
