Answer:
Although the 1920s was an era of economic growth and growing modernism, tensions and conflicts emerged in areas of culture, race relations, immigration, and politics.
Culturally, the conflicts arose between progressives and conservatives. The progressives wanted to modernize and bring a significant change to American society by breaking the old ways and introducing new ideas and lifestyles. While, the conservatives wanted to continue on with the old life of the past; they wanted to criticize the new ideas that arose and gained momentum in the Roaring 20s.
In aspects of race relations, regardless of African American culture (i.e., jazz and blues) gaining popularity, segregation still persisted. Many states still were following segregation laws, such as the Jim Crow laws. One example was that African Americans were not allowed in the same infrastructure as White Americans; racial injustices would continue until the 1960s.
Similar to how African Americans were segregated, immigrants faced harsh criticisms and discriminations. As many immigrants (i.e., Italians, Jewish, and Chinese) flooded into the United States, xenophobia and ethnocentrism spread across the states. Many Americans blamed immigrants for taking up space in urban areas, spread of certain strains of viruses, and the lack of job opportunities; they believed that immigrants were contaminating the original American culture. This tension between immigrants and Americans led to the enactment of the Immigration Act (1924), which limited immigration from Asia to the United States.
Politically, the 1920s was placed in tension and conflict because the Republicans advocated for more strict governmental measures against immigrants. Most Republicans were conservatives and condemned Progressive movements and called it too radical.
