To provide an accurate response, I would need the specific examples you're referring to related to resistance to change in the 1920s. However, I can highlight some general examples of resistance to change during that decade:
-
Prohibition - The 18th Amendment, which established Prohibition in 1920, faced significant resistance from various groups, including bootleggers, speakeasies, and certain segments of society who believed in the freedom to consume alcohol. This resistance led to widespread illegal drinking and disregard for the law.
-
The Return to Normalcy - Following World War I, many Americans sought a return to pre-war social and economic conditions, which resisted the progressive changes that had taken place during the war. This included a backlash against immigration and an emphasis on traditional values, evident in the rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
If you have specific options in mind, please share them, and I can help identify which ones align with the theme of resistance to change in the 1920s.
