The 1920s were a decade of contradictions for many reasons.

After World War I, the numbers of European immigrants sky-rocketed and while this produced a bigger diversity in culture, customs and beliefs, it also brought fear to white Americans as they were scared of the posible spread of communism and anarchism (this fear scalated after the Russian Revolution in 1917), so they embraced Nativism, which consisted of a supremacy of the older American families over recent ones. This also led to the resurgence of the violent and racist KKK that was originally disbanded after Reconstruction.
