1920 Nineteenth Amendment To The Constitution ratified giving women the right to vote. (Evidence)
According to History.com, "During America’s early history, women were denied some of the basic rights enjoyed by male citizens. For example, married women couldn’t own property and had no legal claim to any money they might earn, and no female had the right to vote. Women were expected to focus on housework and motherhood, not politics." This law helped the progression of the women's rights movement and was a key factor in the world we have today. This quote shows all things included. -
Revenue Act slashes income tax on wealthy and corporations (Political and Economic)
This made it so that the wealthy and corporations could not make as much or any income tax. This was a big event because it was the beginning of making things more "equal" you could not make so much more money than everyone else by just being wealthy anymore. According to Cambridge "We argue that a primary motive for the tax cuts of the 1920s was the desire to reduce the tax avoidance by wealthier individuals that occurred as a result of the previous tax rate increases." This shows all reasons. -

The Dust Bowl (Evidence)
According to History.com " The Dust Bowl was caused by several economic and agricultural factors, including federal land policies, changes in regional weather, farm economics and other cultural factors. After the Civil War, a series of federal land acts coaxed pioneers westward by incentivizing farming in the Great Plains." I thought this was a good piece of evidence because it shows all the causes of the dust bowl, with a deeper explaing than I gave in my overview. -

Prohibition Ends & the 21st Amendment (Political and Social))
This is when the 21st amendment is ratified and the prohibition ends making things like alcohol legal again. This was huge and another good way to get the economy back on track. According to History.com "Prohibition, failing fully to enforce sobriety and costing billions, rapidly lost popular support in the early 1930s.
