  3. The Alligator Effect • While the rich got richer with investing, the poor got poorer & more isolated • At the height of “Coolidge Prosperity” more than half of the U.S. families earned less than $2,000 per year • Yet another Gilded Age $$ RICH $$  POOR 

  4. Perils of Prosperity • Workers in the clothing industry were hurt by changes in women’s fashions • Shorter skirts = less cloth needed • Coal miners faced hard times • Oil replaced coal as the major source of energy • Railroads slashed jobs • Cars, trucks, roads & highways

  5. Sacco & Vanzetti • 2 Italian immigrants in Massachusetts • Nicola Sacco & Bartolomeo Vanzetti were arrested for robbery & murder in 1920 • The 2 men admitted to being anarchists but insisted they didn’t commit any crime • A jury convicted them & they were sentenced to death

  6. Sacco & Vanzetti • The trial was a symbol of nativism that swept the country • It raised issues of what it meant to receive a “fair trial” • An openly prejudice judge • Limited evidence against both men • Many thought they were convicted because they were immigrants • (have you ever encountered such a perspective?)

  7. Sacco & Vanzetti 6 years go by of waiting in jail, then they are executed • Many questioned the judiciary system • Many saw it as a sign that the U.S. had to keep out dangerous radicals
