_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Elected President in 1920, Republican Warren Harding delivered his Inauguration Address in March 1921. He announced his
intention to return to a traditional isolationist foreign policy:
“Our eyes never will be blind to a developing menace, our ears never deaf to the call of civilization. We recognize the new order in the world,
with the closer contacts which progress has brought. We crave friendship and harbor no hate. But America can be a party to no permanent
military alliance. It can enter into no political commitments, nor assume any economic obligations which will subject our decisions to any other
than our own authority. It has been proved again and again that we cannot, while throwing our markets open to the world, maintain American
standards of living and opportunity, and hold our industrial eminence in such unequal competition.” – Warren G. Harding

because I was an Italian and indeed I am an Italian…If you could execute me two times, and if I could be reborn two other times, I would live again

roving around the house, breaking windows, raiding the cellar, and demoralizing children. When a [teacher] takes his oath of office, he renounces
his right to free speech quite as certainly as a bishop does, or a colonel in the army, or an editorial writer of a newspaper. He becomes a paid
propagandist of certain definite doctrines, and every time he departs from them deliberately, he deliberately swindles his employers.”

business cycle is unmistakable. Peoples are turning from destruction to production. Industry has sensed the changed order and [is] turning to
resume their normal, onward way. The call is for productive America to go on. I speak for administrative efficiency, for lightened tax burdens, for
sound commercial practices, for adequate credit facilities, for sympathetic concern for all agricultural problems, for the omission of unnecessary
interference of government with business, for an end to government’s experiment in business, and for more efficient business in government

Charles Lindbergh
Babe Ruth
Jack Dempsey
Helen Wills & Gertrude Ederle
Lindbergh’s flight served as a bridge between tradition and modernity. John Ward wrote an essay, The Meaning of
Lindbergh’s Flight, in which he looked at the impact of his flight on history:
“Lindbergh, in every remark about his flight and in his writings, resisted the tendency to exploit the flight as the
achievement of an individual. He never said ‘I,’ he always said ‘We.’ But there was always the fact that his exploit
was a victory of the machine over nature. There was another aspect, one in which the public celebrated the
machine and the society of which it was a product. By calling Lindbergh a pioneer, people could read into history
the need [for] turning back to the frontier past. Yet people could also read history in terms of progress into the
future. They did this by emphasizing the machine involved in Lindbergh’s flight.”
What did Ward think was one of the meanings of Lindbergh’s flight?
