What Life Looked Like 100 Years Ago in America

Get a clear look back at the forgotten decade of the 1920s through this rare collection of carefully colorized photos. When we think of the 1920s in America, we mostly remember it as, 'The Roaring Twenties,' or 'The Jazz Age.' And while the decade is definitely synonymous with the Prohibition era, there was so much else going on around the country that we don't often think about. The 1920s was the decade when more Americans moved to cities than ever before; the decade when automobile mass production made cars available to the masses; the decade when consumer radio took over the airwaves; and the decade when women finally earned the right to vote. In this week's video, I've combed through hundreds of sources to find the most interesting images I could find of this decade that reshaped America. I then spent hours carefully colorizing these pictures as best as I could achieve - (no more purples when the color should be blue or black!) If you're a regular viewer of The History Lounge - Welcome Back! I'm glad you're here. If you're just finding my channel for the first time, I invite you to take some time to look around and see what other interesting historical topics that have been covered here. Please enjoy this look back into the 1920s! Kevin H. #historicalphotos #lifeinamerica #nostalgia
