The presidential election of 1920 was among history’s most remarkable. Six once-and-future presidents-Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, and Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt-jockeyed for the White House. With voters choosing between Wilson’s Group of Nations and Harding’s front-porch isolationism, the 1920 election designed modern America. Women gained the vote. Republicans outspent Democrats by 4 to at least one 1, as voters witnessed the first extensive newsreel coverage, modern advertising campaign advertising, and results transmit on radio. America got become an urban nation: Automobiles, mass production, string stores, and easy credit altered the economy. 1920 paints a stunning portrait of America, beset by the Red Scare, jailed dissidents, Prohibition, smoke-filled rooms, bomb-throwing terrorists, and the Klan, gingerly crossing modernity’s threshold.
