What nickname given to the 1920s is the most accurate? Why? What do you feel were the biggest advances during the 1920s? Who were the major contributors to the "Golden Age" of sports during this era?
The most accurate nickname to the 1920's is the Jazz age. This is the time Jazz became the most popular genre of music. Not only that, but it also meant so much more than just a tune to a lot of African Americans. Jazz in the 20s was the result of a melting pot of black music, spirituals, and blues gospel. It was a good way for musicians to express themselves. Just like in the slave days when the slaves communicated through song. There were a lot of advances in the 1920's, music being one of them. Another one was the first commercial broadcast over the radio, and this was also the time when women were granted the right to vote. Prohibition began in the U.S at the start of the 1920's too. The biggest contributor to the golden age was baseball player Babe Ruth. He changed the way baseball was watched and played, by hitting for home runs rather than for average. Still today, the most famous hitters in baseball are those who hit the most home runs.
From the nicknames of The Republican Era and Prohibition Era, to the Lost Generation and the Roaring ‘20's, the 1920s exude a plethora of influences and breakthrough ideas. Moreover, this decade remains extremely memorable, for reasons both good and bad. Even so, the most accurate nickname given to the 1920s would be The Jazz Age. The genre of Jazz thrived in the 1920s. Even through racial segregation, the influence of music put every man on an equal playing field, making music, especially soothing jazz music, a prodigious part of the lives of many African Americans, for they longed for inner peace during times of racism. African Americans found joy, peace, and just a good old time in jazz music. To express the blues, anger, elation, and triumph, African Americans created and enjoyed jazz, especially in trying times. Jazz allowed slaves and liberty-deprived people to clear their heads, similar to the way the youth of today love to listen to music to clear their heads. In short, The Jazz Age is a fitting nickname for the 1920s because African Americans, women, and those seeking change in America found harmony in one aspect of life during their struggles: Jazz.
Conspicuously, music was a great advancement in the 1920s. The ideals of rhythms, tempos, dynamics, and other musical techniques began to evolve into the great elements of music that we all use and see in today’s world. In addition, the advancement in automobiles, radio broadcasting, colored televisions, and governmental rights had a big influence on the way society ran.
Furthermore, a major contributor to the Golden Age of sports during this era was the American baseball player, Babe Ruth. Ruth influenced baseball, both the way it was played and how families at home watched it. Moreover, he was an overachiever, striving to hit an impressive amount of home runs. Baseball is the sport of America, and Babe Ruth had a hand in making our country’s sport what it is today!

There are a few names given to the 1920's that seem pretty accurate to me. One would be the Art Deco era, which started in France, but is seen throughout the US. For example, the Chrystler Building in New York, the Buffalo City Hall, and the Empire State Building. Not only in buildings, but in vehicles. This era started the Chrystler company. For advances; the first color television was created in the twenties. Charles Lindbugh became the first person to fly across the Atlantic from NY to Paris. The invention of frozen foods occurred during this time also. The Jazz age is another stepping block of this era. Jazz was at its peak during this time, however, it would not qualify as the most accurate nickname of the twenties, because jazz started the decade before. Sports were then publicised by faces such as Babe Ruth, Red Grange, Jack Dempsey for baseball, football, and boxing. http://www.msad54.org/sahs/socialstudies/finely/1920s/1920gr2/sports.html
In my opinion, thoughthe 1920's were entranced by this new music called jazz, I believe a better name for this time would more-or-less be called "The Age/Era of Freud". The reason I've come to this conclusion is because of the youth within this time. No doubt, jazz music was prolific and historical in the 1920's but from a bystanders perception, it's seen as an outlet for a sexual repressed people as a whole. I say as a whole because it equally affected the youth as is the adults of that time. The adults continued to ignore the own repressed needs and control their children into doing the same thing. While ofcourse, the youth, with less value's and morale, were able to see and embrace the goodness in their own sexuality. Jazz had meaning to the world though, being of a mixture of old spirituals, the blues gospel, etc, it had its own history but simply happened to become and correspond as an outlet for young americans at the time which also gave it more popularity.
One extremly popular advance was "The Jazz Singer,1927", whixh was "the first feature-length "talkie" ", basically meaning it was "a motion picture in which the characters actually speak". [I personally don't want to explain the whole thing about it] Alot of comedy, at the aspence of African Americans came out it. Ofcourse after that motion picture the era of "silent films" ended. Also the New Dance styles that also helped progressed the "Freud Era". Because of all the new dances, teens started wearing more "racey" clothing which riled up the adults.

Numerous nicknames have been given to the time period of the 1920s, but many know it either as the Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age. These names were given to emphasize the period’s social, cultural and artistic vigor. Politics seemed to be growing back to “Normalcy” after World War I ended in 1918. Many advances began to overwhelm the twenties, as jazz music grew into fascination, and women advanced their wardrobes and hairstyles with short skirts and bobbed hair; they were called “flappers.” Art Deco also became an advancement, as buildings with architecture and industrial design forgone the Modern Age.
Jazz music sprouted from an influence of both African and European music traditions. It’s styles of blues, folk and gospel music branched off with more use of the saxophone, trumpet, trombone, piano, guitar, drum kit, etc. This genre of music helped bring forth various show tunes and dance songs everywhere. Although the older generations viewed Jazz music to only influence bad behavior and a decadent of values, jazz was continuing to grow with Swing music and eventually Rock and Roll.
Sports during the “Golden Age” was influenced mainly by Babe Ruth’s fantastic skill, which brought upon many fans of baseball and publicity. His achievements granted Baseball the name of America’s Sport, and changed the way American’s watch sports: as a family. It was another way of connecting the American people during this time period, especially when the economy collapsed at the end of the decade, as the Great Depression began to set in.
The most accurate nickname given to the 1920's was the Jazz Age. This was the most accurate name because this was the time when Jazz started to become one of the most popular genres around. This was one of the biggest advances in the 1920's. Another big advancement in the 1920's was that women finally got the right to vote. But the biggest advancement was the "Golden Age". his was when sports took their biggest advancement.School teams were formed for students and several sports, such as golf, that had previously been unavailable to the middle-class became open. Some major contributers to sports were Babe Ruth, Red Grange, Jack Dempsey.

Out of the many nicknames for the 1920’s, the Jazz Age has to be the most accurate. Music was changing drastically and it shocked many people. Jazz then branched off to other genres, such as the blues, which through time split into even more. The Jazz Age has ultimately altered the way music is played and composed. Being a musician, I can notice major jazz influences in classical and even more contemporary music. The Jazz Age suits the 1920’s well because it forever changed the music scene in America. Apart from musical advancements, the 1920’s were full of technological advancements as well. Refrigeration was emerging as the new method of preservation and Henry Ford was selling cars to eager Americans. The 1920’s also greatly popularized sports like baseball, football, and boxing. This “Golden Age” of sports was greatly influenced by men such as Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey, who eventually became role models because of their professional status. Sports and music both began within the 1920’s which in turn gave America its own originality from the rest of the world.
The 1920’s was known as the Jazz era, for one reason, this is the time where music took hold and changed American culture. Jazz was not just a representative of one culture or one race, it was a mixture of European and African music. This mixture didn’t segregate, but in away helped bind and slowly close the gapes of color. In the 1920’s America was slowly changes its ideals, black men could play baseball ( the American sport) , alcohol was soon band. The greatest thing any American will remember is when Babe Ruth stepped onto a baseball field. He raised so many bars on baseball , he will always be seen as the greatest.
The 1920’s in American history were known by different names that highlighted different aspects of the age. Some of these were the Jazz Age, The Decade of Normalcy, The Republican Era, etc. However the one nickname that truly highlighted every aspect of the 1920’s dynamism was the name, The Dynamic Decade. During this decade there was a dramatic upsurge in many aspects of the American lifestyle and American society. For example, women’s suffrage movement made advances. Women were able to find more opportunities for employment than previously possible. Also feminists such as Alice Paul fought avidly for an Equal Rights Amendment in the Constitution. The church was also affected by the dynamism of The Dynamic Decade. Churches began to use more “modern” approaches to lure followers such as having motion pictures for younger followers. During this decade there was also more freedom in the expression of sexual preferences. Sex was used to sell or advertise any product from soap to car tires. Of course the soundtrack to the Dynamic Decade was jazz. During this time period was also the Jazz Age in which jazz flourished as a new outlet for musicians and dancers alike. The more important of the advances made during this era were those in the cause women’s suffrage. Of the many advanced done in the movement, the most important of these were the ratification of the 19th Amendment in all 36 states. This not only recognized women as contributing member but also helped verify that the phrase “All men are created equal” applied not only to men but also to women. With the ratification of this Amendment, the women’s suffrage movement took a great bound. There were multiple athletes that contributed to this era also receiving the nickname, The Golden Age of Sports. There was the famous Babe Ruth, the most famous athlete in American during the Roaring Twenties, who hit more home runs than any player before him. There was also Knute Rockne, coach of the Notre Dame Football team. This team became on the most famous football teams of the time. Even thought sports were racially and genderally segregated Walter “Buck” Leonard a black baseball player was able to play on the Homestead Grays of the Negro National League. These are only a few of the many athletes that contributed to this age.
After WW1, America experienced a cultural growth. The party years of American history is most notably called the Jazz Age, that is of course, the 1920's. For since the dawn of time, for as long as their has been music; there are those that oppose what ever it is that is new and different. Some even saw classical music as an evil well in its prime. But each age of music directly reflects the world they lived in. Rock and roll represents the rebellion of the 60's. Classical represents the sheer innovative genius of those individuals in the renaissance years. The Jazz created during the 20's, represented their 'freedom' and fun. A rebellion of a sort. Breaking away from the traditional way to do things. For once, girls were going out on dates unsupervised thanks to Fords inexpensive automobile. All though it was prohibition, many were still drinking. People would go to hidden bars called speakeasies to acquire the illegal liquor. This is where jazz would grow. In these bars, the music was played. But not just played, it was danced too, listened too, and felt by. At the time, this rebellious music moved the ever changing times quicker. In the Roaring twenties, people were breaking off from the old way of the things. Cars were affordable, and credit cards ensured the American consumer of their good. Being a change in culture altogether, sports were also affected. The games Americans knew were being revolutionized. Such household names as Babe Ruth changed the game of baseball forever. The Roaring Twenties were absolutely loud and full of parting; with jazz providing the music that made it all so.
The “Roaring Twenties” is the best nickname given to the 1920’s. The twenties was a time period full of drastic changes that were good and bad to the American society. Jazz music, dancing, women’s fashion, automobiles and the rise of American gangsters were some of the greatest advancements through this period. One of the most important advancement was also black freedom. Blacks slowly began to get more rights and recognition in the American society. For example the “Golden Age” should be most thankful to African Americans, for they were the greatest contributors to this area. African Americans were beginning to be known as some of the most athletic and musically talented people. Therefore, the 1920’s I best expressed as the Roaring Twenties, because it was a bold era full of progression in many areas.
The 1920's is known to have many different nicknames. Some nicknames that the 1920's had were, Republican Era, The Jazz Age, The Lost Generation, Boom to Bust, The Roaring '20's, Decade of Normalcy, Prosperity Decade, and The Prohibition Era. But the two biggest nicknames were The Roaring 20's and the Jazz Era. After World War I America was going threw a overwhelming cultural growth. During the 1920's emerged dancing and jazz music as well as automobiles, and more freedom for the African Americans. Jazz music was big for African Americans because jazz it brought joy, happiness, and peace to them.
One major contributor to the "Golden Age" was baseball player Babe Ruth was the major sporting figure in America in the 1920s. He didn't only change the way baseball was watched but also played, by hitting for home runs rather than for average. This made the game more attractive to spectators. Still today,the most famous hitters in baseball are those who hit the most home runs.
Another name for the 1920's is the "Roaring 20's" and the "Jazz Age." It was called this becuase of the breakthrough it had in the creation of a new genre of music. This mixture was great beacause of the reason of it's variety in taste for race. It did not only appeal to the African culture but also to The American and other white races. With the music brought a certain atomssphere that did not involve so much dishonor to someone's race. One man enters my mind when I think of contributing to the "Golden Age" of sports and it was Babe Ruth. This one man change the game of baseball for eternity. He influenced the game of baseball like no other. The difference between him and Oscar Robinson is that he changed the game for all Blacks; but Ruth change the game itself.
