The National Humanities Center presents collections of primary resources compatible with the Common Core State Standards - historical documents, literary texts, and works of art - thematically organized with notes and discussion questions. Topics discussed in this unit include the following: Becoming Modern: America in the 1920s: "Machine Age." Will machines liberate man or enslave him? We enter this discussion as it transpired in the Twenties, when fresh memories of mechanized warfare competed with enticements of new autos, appliances, and other mechanical adventures. Presents 1920s commentaries on this topic, and a painting by modernist artist Charles Demuth.
