Reader reviews for American Decades Primary Sources: 1920-1929

From the publisher

The passage of the Volstead Act prohibited the sale and consumption of alcohol and spawned a black market network of smuggling and speakeasies. Gangsters like Al Capone captured the publics imagination. Fashionable, fun-loving women wore short skirts and even shorter hair. Business was booming in many industries and, for the first time, people were buying on credit. Speculation in the stock market was at an all-time high as a get rich quick mentality took hold, but the artificially inflated bubble burst on October 24, 1929. The stock market crash closed out the 1920s with a bang.
