Prosperity+and+Politics

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, drunk president with few visions. His adminastration was tradiional but it was seen more of a corrupt and scandalist gang. His reputation was always beeing protected by the 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 the 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. 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.
