At first, as the 1920's dawn, there is the ultra conservatism that rejects Wilson's League of Nations, amends the Constitution to prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages, suspects every immigrant of being a Red, and places TWK (meaning Trade With the Klan) stickers in merchant-members' shop windows....The great euphoria reaches its climax with the stock market crash, and American Heritage History of the 1920s & 1930s examines the causes ad effects with clarity and historical perspective. Here you see what America was like when factories lay idle and old newspapers became "Hoover Blankets" for evicted families; when angry farmers gathered at foreclosure sales with pitchforks and shotguns to fight for their land; when the International Apple Shippers' Association offered apples on credit to the jobless to sell for five cents apiece on city streets; when Franklin Roosevelt said, "This nation asks for action, and action now," and stated the kid of action that kept him in the White House for the rest of the 1930s and beyond."
