The automobile gave Americans (the ability to move from place to place),, and helped industries such as, the, the used in the production of automobiles, began stringing up in towns across America, and, of course, the that produced almost 99% of the automobiles in the world. Another impact of greater mobility was the There, people could get away from the crowded cities and the crime and noise cities presented. The other major invention in transportation took place almost two decades before the 1920s. On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright in Kitty Hawk, NC. The flight lasted 12 seconds and proved that powered air flight was possible. But it was in the 1920 s that the single engine plane was being used to fly people anywhere, including across the Atlantic Ocean that began in Change also took place in.

8 Results of Prohibition Main Idea In the 1820s and 30s, a wave of religious groups swept the United States, leading to increased calls for temperance, as well as other perfectionist movements such as the abolition of slavery. A few states passed laws limiting the amount of alcohol that could be sold. In 1917, after the United States entered World War I, President Woodrow Wilson announced a temporary wartime prohibition in order to save grain for producing food. That same year, Congress submitted the, which banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors, for state ratification. Both federal and local government struggled to enforce Prohibition over the course of the 1920s. Enforcement, at first, was assigned to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and was later transferred to the Justice Department. In general, Prohibition was enforced much more strongly in areas where the population mostly supported laws that supported Prohibiton mainly rural areas and small towns and much more loosely in urban areas. Despite very early signs of success, including a decline in arrests for drunkenness and a reported 30 percent drop in alcohol consumption, those who wanted to keep drinking found ever-more creative ways to do it. The (known as ) went on throughout the decade, along with the operation of (stores or ), the smuggling of alcohol across state lines and the informal production of liquor ( moonshine or bathtub gin ) in private homes. In addition, the Prohibition era associated with bootlegging. The most notorious example was the Chicago gangster Al Capone, who earned a staggering $60 million annually from bootleg operations and speakeasies. Such illegal operations fueled a rise in gang violence, including the St. Valentine s Day Massacre in Chicago in 1929, in which several men dressed as policemen (and believed to be have associated with Capone) shot and killed a group of men in an enemy gang. The high price of bootleg liquor meant that the nation s working class and poor were far more restricted during Prohibition than upper class Americans. Even as costs for law enforcement, jails and prisons rose, support for Prohibition was decreasing by the end of the 1920s. Millions of Americans no longer wanted to support Prohibition and wanted it to end. With the country now in the Great Depression by 1932, creating jobs and revenue by legalizing the liquor industry had an undeniable appeal. Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for president that year on a platform calling for Prohibition s appeal, and easily won victory over the incumbent President Herbert Hoover. FDR s victory meant the end for Prohibition, and in February 1933 Congress adopted a resolution proposing a to the Constitution that officially ending Prohibition. Page 8

9 The Great Migration: Causes and Impact Main Idea After the post-civil War Reconstruction period ended in 1876, white supremacy was largely restored across the South, and the segregationist policies known as Jim Crow soon became the law of the land. Southern blacks were forced to make their living working the land as part of the which offered little in the way of economic opportunity. Millions of blacks began to move from the south. The was the from 1916 to It had a huge impact on urban life in the United States. Driven from their homes by and, many blacks headed, where they took advantage of the that first arose during the First World War. As Chicago, New York and other cities saw their black populations expanded, blacks were forced to deal with and, as well as widespread and. Even though segregation was not legalized in the North (as it was in the South), racism and prejudice were widespread. After the U.S. Supreme Court declared racially based housing unconstitutional in 1917, some residential neighborhoods enacted covenants requiring white property owners to. During the Great Migration, African Americans began to build a new place for themselves in public life, actively confronting economic, political and social challenges and that would exert enormous influence in the decades to come. As a result of housing tensions, many blacks ended up creating their own cities within big cities, fostering the growth of a new urban African-American culture. The most prominent example was in formerly allwhite neighborhood that by the 1920s housed some 200,000 African Americans. The black experience during the Great Migration became an important theme in the artistic movement known first as the New Negro Movement and later as the would have an enormous impact on the culture of the era.
