How the 1920s transformed American cities and immigration laws
In short: This video examines the profound shifts in American life during the 1920s, focusing on the economic opportunities available to women, migrants, and immigrants within rapidly growing urban centers.
The 1920s marked a significant demographic turning point in the United States, as a majority of the population moved from rural areas into cities. This shift was driven by the economic opportunities found in urban environments for various groups, including women, migrants, and immigrants.
However, this era of urban growth was also defined by significant legislative changes, specifically the passage of new restrictions on immigration.
