Synopsis

This book explores the history of Rhode Island during the 1920s, focusing on government, society, and economic growth. It shows how the state's industrial development during World War I heavily influenced the decade, leading to changes in politics, social culture, and demographics. As Rhode Island shifted from a center of textile manufacturing to a more diversified economy, the book examines how its leaders sought to reestablish the state's economic dominance. By analyzing the achievements and challenges faced by Rhode Island during the 1920s, the author provides a framework for understanding the broader national currents that shaped the period.
