- During the 1920's there was prohibition, that went into effect on January 17 1920, which made the production and sale of liquor and booze illegal. But it was hard to endorse because it was a federal law, (and pretty much only the feds endorsed it) so people went to secret bars and parties called "speakeasies".
- Prohibition
- People would go to the speakeasies to dance, drink, and socialize. Flappers were common there (flappers were women who went up against the traditional ways of dancing and partying).
- Prohibition
- If the feds found the speakeasies they would arrest the people and make them dump all of the liquor and sometimes even destroy the speakeasy.
