4 5 Postwar America SS5H4.b When World War I ended, life improved. Factories went into high gear and produced products to satisfy a growing demand. Many Americans worked in factories. Their wages gave them buying power. The American economy was booming. This period is called the Roaring Twenties. Improved Standard of Living The United States became the richest country in the world. Returning soldiers went back to work. Factories turned from making tools of war to making goods like cars, radios, and cosmetics. Product after product was made by mass production. In mass production, the parts of a product are identical and the order in which the parts are assembled is always the same. Products are mass produced in factories. Mass production makes products cheaper. Necessities such as clothing and shoes were much more affordable and did not have to be made at home. Items that were once luxuries were now within reach of the average working person. Other than clothes and shoes, working people could now afford items such as cars and household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators, and vacuum cleaners. These goods had once been luxuries that only the well-to-do could afford. As people bought an increasing amount of goods, business profits soared, and so did workers wages. Automobiles and Airplanes Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company and created the modern assembly line that is still used in factories today. He created the first mass produced automobile, the Model T. He was awarded 161 U.S. patents in his lifetime. By 1927, Ford had sold 15 million Model T cars. Gas stations, tire shops, repair shops, and motels seemed to pop up everywhere. People s lives changed, too. Now they could travel almost anywhere quickly and easily. 48 Duplicating any part of this book is prohibited by law.

5 Lesson 5: Postwar America Model T Fords were mass produced. Planes made for the war began to deliver mail after People began to pay to travel with the mail. After WWI, factories mass produced airplanes. Until the 1950s, plane travel was not widespread. Charles Lindbergh was a pilot who was famous for being the first to fly solo, nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. He flew from New York to Paris in 1927 in The Spirit of St. Louis. He was soon one of the first celebrities of the modern age. Radio, Talkies, and the Jazz Age Mass production made radios common and affordable. Radio was revolutionary. Until radio, people got their news and entertainment from reading materials such as newspapers, magazines, and books. They also attended theater and movies. However, radio was live and could be heard in the home. Listeners had favorite dramatic and comedy shows. Americans also listened to news and talk shows. Families gathered around the radio, as families do today around television. In the early 1920s, many people went to the movies. During that time, movies had music, but you couldn t hear the actors speaking to each other. You read what they were saying on the screen. In 1927, the first full-length feature movie with sound, The Jazz Singer, was made. Movies with sound were called talkies. Movies became even more popular when talkies were released. When people talk about popular culture in the 1920s, they call it the Jazz Age. Jazz was first created on plantations. After slavery, it lived on in New Orleans. Radios quickly spread jazz all over the country. Duplicating any part of this book is prohibited by law. 49
