Question

Got stuck on this question and was wondering if I could get any help on it:

Which event did not change the culture of the united states during the early 1920s?

A.) Bank failures that closed factories and decreased job opportunities.
B.) Installment plans used to purchase expensive consumer goods.
C.) Boll weevil infestations which changed agricultural production to peaches.
D.) Prohibition causing people to bootleg alcohol.

Answer 1

Probably C.

Answer 2

@Ms. Sue, that is what I was thinking it could be. Thanks for answering!

Answer 3

You're welcome. :-)

Answer 4

I believe you are both mistaken. The boll weevil migrated from Mexico in the late 1800s and by the 1920s affected the entire South and was a crisis. I think there is a better answer for what did NOT affect the United States during the EARLY 1920s.

Answer 5

Thank you, @Reed! Could the answer be A? Because when I look back at my book, I can't really find anything that says that much about bank failures in the early 1920s.

Answer 6

I think A is the best answer. The bank failures and factory closings took place in the early 1930s, not the early 1920s.

Answer 7

Thank you again, @Reed!
