There were many changes that occurred during the decade of the 1920’s. During the 1920’s many Americans began to blame alcohol for society’s problems. As a result of this , Prohibition began: an amendment was passed banning alcohol. Unfortunately, this had some negative effects. For example, street crime grew as people fought to sell illegal alcohol, and secret bars called speak-easies popped up throughout the nation. In addition, another change involved women. During the Roaring Twenties, women who had recently earned the right to vote were beginning to express their freedom more visibly. For example, women called flappers had a new style of dress and went out more frequently than in the past. Therefore it is evident that the 1920’s was a very exciting time period that involved many changes.
