This unit covers a broad expanse, ranging from early statehood to the end of World War II.

First, we take a closer look at Oklahoma as it acquires statehood. One of the biggest issues during this time is segregation. While this explanation of segregation in Oklahoma is simple, it contains many important facts regarding how segregation affected politics.

Shortly after gaining statehood, Oklahoma, and the rest of the nation, would be faced with World War I. This war had a significant impact of Oklahoma. The Green Corn Rebellion was one such impact. A tour through the WWI Museum's online exhibit hall will give you a better understanding of the global impacts of WWI.

Following this, we will examine the Red Scare, The rise of the KKK, Prohibition, Racial Tensions in America, and the Tulsa Race Riot.

Moving into the 1930s we will discuss the Dust Bowl.
