Module 10. Discussion “Normalcy” at Home

Q The horrors of the Great War followed by the threat of class warfare pushed the majority of Americans to turn to a homespun Americanism rooted in idealized notions of small-town values, Protestantism, law and order, and racial and cultural homogeneity. This was known as a “return to normalcy.” To get started, click the MindTap link in the Get Started Module and follow the directions below: • Navigate to the bottom of the MindTap Homepage. • Click the Return to Normalcy, by Warren G. Harding, link. To complete your discussion assignment, please do the following: • Write one or two paragraphs arguing for normalcy and restoration. Be sure to answer the following questions: o What would motivate you to support immigration restrictions? o America encouraged the building of the League of Nations, but advocates for the “return to normalcy” did not support it. Why do you believe many Americans were against an international agreement? o What legislations were passed to encourage this return to “normalcy”? Would you have supported them all? • When you are done, post your paragraphs to the discussion forum. Be sure to cite any additional sources found in the MindTap Resource Center or Questia. Choose one of your classmates’ posts, and argue against this “return to normalcy.”

Immigration restrictions would be supported by the motivation of not spending above the expected levels of expenditure tallied/projected with the expected levels of national income for America. This is because there had to be public debts repaid by the American government along with not levying high percentages of taxes to the American citizens. There had to be money spent on casualties of war as well as on treatment of surviving victims for a long period of time.
