PROHIBITION The Prohibition Era began in 1920-Ratification of the 18th Amendment in 1919=Banned the sale or manufacture of alcoholic beverages The Volstead Act enforced the amendment The 18th amendment was repealed by the 21st amendment in 1933 by Franklin D. Roosevelt which ended the ban on alcohol

Reason for the ban on alcohol Unpatriotic to enjoy yourself while so many soldiers were suffering/fighting in the WWI Shouldn’t use grains and sugar to make alcohol when they were needed for the war effort Men were spending all of their money on alcohol and not their families Alcohol causes men to miss work because they have hangovers Alcohol can make you sick

Women in the 1920’s After 72 years the battle for suffrage was finally over thanks to women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B Anthony, Carrie Chapman, Alice Paul, and Margaret Sanger. Equal Rights Amendment The next generation was uninterested in continuing the fight for equality. Instead they were interested in having fun.

Flappers Northern, single, and young middle-class women. Many held jobs during the day, and went out at night to engage in the active city nightlife. Increased phone usage, increased clerking jobs, and an increasing number of department stores helped women get jobs. Their nightlife included jazz clubs, vaudeville shows, and Speakeasies. They developed a carefree attitude toward prohibition just like the men. Nineteenth Amendment sought to eliminate social double standards.

The Flapper Look Cut their hair shoulder length. Dresses rose up to their knee. Wore make-up, high heels, and bound their chest. Many women celebrated the age of the flapper as a female declaration of independence. Flappers chose activities to please themselves instead of their father or husband. Many wondered if flappers were expressing themselves or acting like men.
