Thirty-seven riots nation wide in the summer of 1918, in Chicago particularly because most of the residents were the immigrants, single, young and unmarried, the riot caused 368 were injured and 54 were killed and many homeless. W.E.B. Du Bois in his publication Infinite called the victims were the glorious death. Chicago Riot is a challenge against the discrimination against the blacks, advocate the Progressivism failed right after the Great War.
Criminal Empire
Al-Carbon the leader of Criminal Empire helped Indians to drink with the supports from Protestants. Using violence to face competing, 27 people were killed. The organization declined after 1925 because of the depression.
KKK and WKKK
KKK became more organized and more membership participated, and the Women's KKK likewise. KKK and WKKK declined when the leader Duke David of Louisiana committed murdering and raping his secretary. He firstly gave the lady a poison drink; and then, he raped on the dead body and murdered her.
Scope Trial
John Thomas Scope was fined 100 dollars for teaching Charles Darwin's Evolution. John Scope firstly was not found guilty in the local court, where William J. Brian was the Judge and Laurence Dasun was the defendant. But the National Christian Association made the case to be known national wide. In the final court, Henry Wallace was the defendant. Henry Wallace was at the age of ninety at this time, and he failed to proof how Eve was made out from a bone of Adam. The court dismissed under reapeal. John Thomas lost 100 dollars and his jobs. Darwinism actually was a Christian fundamentalism; it is like "God says, let there be light and there was light", a concept that God made Adam from the clay, for God says it and it was done for them. I think the court had made a mistake because God did create something from nothing.
Brew Barton
The book, Young Men Jesus, first published in 1914, but the public did not pay much attention on it. In 1925, Brew Barton republished and renamed his book into The Men Nobody Know, and the book gained a great attention to the public. In the book, Barton quote from the Holy Scriptures to say Jesus is a good businessmen; for example, Barton quoted the Samaria women by the well to say that Jesus gave the racial equality while selling the products. Barton quoted, "the women asked who was Jesus" to say that the appetizer of the women was opened; and it is like Walter Scott uses psychology to stimulate the buyers. Barton quoted "Women asked give me the living water" to say that women was persuaded to buy the new product; it is like the problem of propaganda that Burnes Barney creates the needs of new items and persuade people to buy the new products. But I see a fallacy in Barton's book is that the real living water in the Holy Scripture was totally free of charge, but the living water in Barton's book cost women her own money. And by the fact of its popularity, one can see that the years of 1920s was the years that people has little idea about the Bible, worshiping money instead of God. A president of the time, Coolidge says, "The factories are the temples and the workers are the worshipers". And, again, one can see how it contradicts to the Holy Scripture, which says, each individual is the holy temple and worship God with honesty and the truth. The Scripture also says, thou canst not worship two gods: either you love this one or hate another, which means one canst not love God and money at the same time. In this case, Coolidge means, the love of money instead of the love from God. In the end of the 1920s, Americans in average were 4 times in debts than they had in the begin of the 1920s. In a word, money was very important in the 1920s. The Men Nobody Knows by Brew Barton in 1925 had said something about the history of the 1920s.
