IsolationismIn the 1920s, the US adopts a
plan of isolationism and
withdraws from world affairs. As
Examples:
1923 Kellogg Briand Pact
(International Agreement) bans war
and the US demobilizes (eliminates)
much of its military.
In 1921 Secretary of State Charles
Evans Hughes proposed a 10 year
moratorium, or pause, on the
construction of major new warships.

Beliefs of the 1920s KKK
• A return to traditional US moral values IE The KKK of the 1920s commonly supported Protestant churches.
• Anger toward immigrants (Nativism), and Catholics who were believed to be responsible for taking away jobs and attempting to transform American culture IE English and Protestantism.
• Anti-Jews as Jews were believed to be in charge of American banking and finance (Remember that farmers commonly faced the threat of bank’s foreclosing on their farms).
• Although African Americans were not liked by the KKK of the 1920s, in the North they were often not the number one target because politically they normally voted Republican, just as the KKK voted Republican.
