2) The 1920's was called the "Jazz Age" because everyone seemed to have money, Jazz music, singers, and dances were introduced and many crazy things happened. Some of the new fashion and cultural trends of the 1920's were that the younger women shocked the older generation with their new hairstyle a short bob. Also new clothes that they wore often much shorter than had been seen and tended to expose their legs and knees. They wore silk stockings rolled just above the knee and they got their hair cut at male barbers. .
The Jazz age also brought new dances such as The Charleston, One Step and Black Bottom. The Black Bottom angered many people. This was also the era of great sports champions such as Babe Ruth the baseball player and Bobby Jones "the greatest amateur golfer of all time." One more thing is that Hollywood made the 1920's.
3) Some of the scandals surrounding President Harding were that he signed bills to eliminate wartime controls and slashed taxes, established a Federal budget system, restored the high protective tariff, and imposed tight limitations upon immigration. .
The "Teapot Dome" was the popular name for a scandal during the administration of U.S. President Harding. The scandal, which involved the secret leasing of naval oil reserve lands to private companies, was first revealed to the general public in 1924 after sensational findings by a committee of the U.S. Senate. The legacy of Teapot Dome is an ambiguous one, although the scandal in its final outcome was a victory for honest government. .

4) In 1918 Prohibition was introduced to America. This law banned the sale, transportation and manufacture of alcohol. It was clear that millions neither wanted this law or would respect it. There was obviously a huge market for what in the 1920's was an illegal commodity. It was the gangsters who dominated various cities who provided this commodity. Each major city had its gangster element but the most famous was Chicago with Al Capone.
