During the 1920s sport became popular with the great mass of the people for the first time. For most Americans baseball became the craze. it was a sport in which working class men could excel without any expensive equipment or training. All that was needed was a 'good eye' for the ball. The greatest hero of all was Babe Ruth (right), who became the highest paid sportsmen of his day in 1927 when he earned $80,000. Boxing also became a very popular sport, largely because of the rivalry between Jack Dempsey (left) and Gene Tunney. Dempsey, like Babe Ruth, was an ordinary working man. They both seemed to represent the idea of the USA. It did not matter what your background was, if you had the talent and the ability, you could succeed. But sport was not the only new form of entertainment in the 1920s. Dancing became very popular. Not only were there new dances, but for the first time night clubs and dance halls opened that catered for thousands of people. Dancing competitions were organised that went on for days. But the greatest form of entertainment of all was the motorcar. It offered a new form of freedom that people had never experienced before. For the first time Americans were able to explore their own country in comfort at a time when the government was just beginning to build freeways (motorways) all over the country.

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
