The Roaring 20s DBQ

Students analyze 16 documents, answer 16 historical context questions, complete a sorting chart, and write a DBQ essay to review the Roaring 1920s. There are 12 essay prompts for students to choose from (one allows for the class or teacher to make one of their own). The answers are included where appropriate and the initial analysis part would be great for a sub! ***Some of the sourcing is generalized so that students have to place it in the historical context/event themselves.***

Sample questions include:
--What did the 19th Amendment grant women and did Holmes agree with it?
--Explain how Document 3 was an example of 1920s nativism.
--Summarize the main point of Document 6.
--Does Document 8 support or oppose the Butler Act and why?
--What does Document 14 represent about the 1920s?
--Based on the excerpt, what did the KKK believe they were fighting for in the 20s? How did their actions contradict their beliefs?
