The pandemic we’ve lived through has been less than fun but it was nothing in comparison to what people in the early-20th century had to live through.

Not only were they forced to endure the first world war, but also the Spanish Flu without the comforts of Zoom, Slack, DoorDash, Amazon, Netflix, Robinhood or an iPhone to see them through it.

Yet coming out of that awful period, America experienced an unprecedented boom time the likes of which this country had never seen before.

The 1920s ushered in the automobile, the airplane, the radio, the assembly line, the refrigerator, electric razor, washing machine, jukebox, television and more.

There was a massive stock market boom and explosion of spending by consumers the likes of which were unrivaled at the time. After the immense pressure of the Great War, many people simply wanted to have fun and spend money.

Now, things were far from perfect back then, but the Roaring 20s were one of the most innovative, prosperous periods in U.S. history.
