Calvin Coolidge

Birth-Death: (1872 - 1933 ) Term: (1923-1929 )

The famous "Roaring '20s" was a time of change. Following the first World War, many young people in America were grasping for something new. Although most of the families during this time remained the same as always, this is when Flappers appeared, Jazz reigned supreme, speakeasys served illegal alcohol, and baseball was the national pastime.

1928 - Kellogg-Briand Treaty

    The Kellogg-Briand Pact was signed on the anniversary of World War I. Its objective was to outlaw war altogether. However, it failed miserably because neither the United States, nor the other European nations were ready to join one international peace-keeping organization.
