New Deal

The New Deal for an African American male wouldn't have really help them. They weren't givin anymore rights or anything similar. They couldn't afford nothing before or after for the most part so it didn't really help them. The program allowed share cropping which was terrible for them/ They counldn't ever get out of debt.

WWI Propaganda

This poster is one from today telling people that they need to carpool if they drive an SUV to help safe the environment.
This propaganda poster is saying that it is up to the people whether the US wins or loses.




This picture is also trying to get people to get war liberty bonds to help fund the war and also make them money.







This poster is trying to persuade people to join the war by telling them that they are absent from the war.







This propaganda poster is trying to get people of all ages to buy war stamps to help pay for the war. But they will get more back in return.

Progressive movement




Prohibition was something that was tried to be stopped during the progressive movement. Many people didn't like the fact the alcohol was legal in the US. Before the movement, there was a prohibition to try to stop this. Many people still made alcohol illegally and they caused even more problems over it. The US decided to legalize alcohol in the early 1900's to stop the problems. This is when the 18th amendment was put into place.
