Republicans+ran+the+1920's

During the 1920's three republican candidates were elected; each promising prosperity to the nation. In the roaring tweenties politics were mostly quiet as the nation entered a new age of Jazz, and Dancing.



The first elected president in the 1920's was Warren G. Harding (1921-1923)He was elected with the slogan "A Return to Normalcy". He was known as an outgoing, fun loving, not very inteligent, drunk president with few visions. He did not like laws that protected workers and businesses. His adminastration was tradiional but it was more corrupt and scandalist giving the name the ohio gang. Also he was suspected of being part of the kkk. His reputation was always being protected by his adminatration after cheating with two woman. In US history he is known as the worst president we've had not just because of his corrupt team but his lack of vision (prosperity). He died in San Fransisco 1923 of a heart attack after suffering food posining which rumors say was done by his wife. He didn't contribute to any american prosperity.



The second was Calvin Coolige(1923-1928). He took over after Harding's death. He quickly started to repair the damages Harding left behind. Kind and negative he quickly became popular with the people. During his run he called for isolation in foreign policy, tax cuts, economy, and limited aid to farmers. He ignored other problems like racial discrimination, and low wages for workers. In the end of his first run a couple months before the stock market crash he announced that he wouldn't run for a socond term. Calvin Coolidge died also of a heart attack in 1933.



The third elected president was Herbert Hoover (1928-1932). Was elected 8 months before the stock market crash. Before the crash his dream for America was to end poverty and that everyone deserves to be rich. During the depression he tried to fix the nation by saying that the people could only fix it. His lack of action during early 1930's cost him his second election. People mocked Herbert by naming there trashy communities hoovervilles, newspaper Hoover blankets, and empty pockets Hoover flags.
