The sudden development of art, music, technology and culture associated with the Roaring Twenties is fascinating. The question of what caused this free expression and development is an interesting one to explore. I see many causes for it. First, the economy was under Republican control at that time and followed ''laissez-faire'' economics, which encourages initiative, entrepreneurship and free exploration of ideas. Also, racial segregation was seeing the beginning of its end, and this led to the development of a blended culture (often called a “melting pot”) entirely unique to America (for instance, the Jazz music of the 1920s combined elements from African and European music). Finally, the end of World War I, which at that time was thought to have been “the war to end all wars”, gave a certain blissfulness to the times, which also inspired people.
