Leah Katko- My partner explained to me how their article was mainly focused on the affects of alcohol and how temperance was largely emerging. There were prohibition laws which were refuted, and it made speakeasies larger, making way for more crime and bootlegging.

Lauren Center: My partner, Liam Murphy, and I discussed how his article was about two immigrants, Sacco and Vanzetti, were known draft dodgers and anarchists. However, they were charged with a murder that evidence points to them being nowhere near the crime scene at that time. This aligns with the Roaring 20's label because it highlights the non-glamorous and deeply Nativist mindsets that were still present during that time.

# data[].attributes.body
Liam Murphy. My partner, lauren center, described how the article explains how deeply entwined alcohol is in americas history. When drinking was deemed and issue they placed the prohibition act into effect and people were very unhappy with this. To continue supplying themselves with alcohol people would visit speakeasies where they could illegally buy alcohol. After the act was seen as a failure it was revoked and alcohol was legalized again.

Daphne Tong- My partner, Clara Anne, described Sacco v. Vanzetti case which was largely biased against the two convicted Italian men. As there was limited evidence of illegal activity on the part of the men, the trial was seen as highly corrupt and exhibiting nativist and anti-immigrant tendencies. This description of an extremely unjust case and trial does not match the "Roaring '20s," which is commonly depicted as happy and celebratory. Along with the temperance movement and heavy illegal drinking it seems that the perceived image of the '20s was a misconception, hiding the true issues of the era.

# data[].attributes.body
Clara Anne Stavrinakis- My partner Daphne told me about how people deemed drinking as a problem and how people were able to obtain alcohol through speakeasies even when alcohol was illegal. The act was revokes because it did not succeed. We also discussed the Sacco and Vanzetti trial and the role nativism played. These show the negative aspects of the 20s.

# data[].attributes.body
Elaina Gable: My partner, Malaika, and I discussed how our articles showed the bad aspects of the 20s. Prohibition did not work because of how ingrained alcohol was in the community, and ended up increasing crime. The trial of Sacco and Vanzetti shows how, even with  minimal evidence, people can be convicted and executed on the basis of their political leanings and culture. The Roaring 20s label does not line up with this information because it implies that the 20s were full of fun and glamour, and the reality was far from this.

# data[].attributes.body
Adam Maierle - my partner Grace and I discussed the Sacco and Vanzetti case as well as the article on prohibition. "The Roaring Twenties" were defined by these two major developments, nativism and prohibition defined the strifes of elitist society during the 1920s. Racism towards immigrants and the disparity within the working class promoted corruption within the American justice system. In turn prohibition reestablished the our dependency on capitalism.  The conflict over Prohibition was split into two major avenues of thought. The religious motivations for banning alcohol combated the capitalist notion that alcohol was a consumerist product. Alcohol was demonized in the public through the scope of crime and violence. This idea was contrasted by the growing power of criminal syndicates in perpetuating alcohol within the domestic market. Alcohol remained the most important marketed product but at the expense of the authenticity of justice and peace in America.

Kaitlin Petersen -- My partner Ivan and I discussed how our big takeaway from the prohibition article was that it was the wets vs the drys. Though it was was side vs side, the drys simply did not care and basically had the mindset of if sneaking alcohol is a crime, then call me a criminal. They continued to sneak it in the saloons and speakeasies. As compared to the label, in the video we did not see anyone trying to stop others from drinking alcohol, rather we saw a big party with many drunken men and women having a big party. With this in mind, I would say it fits pretty well. From the Trial article, we took away that the trial was skewed based on the fact that they were immigrants.  Nativism and racism were being covered up with all the drinking and partying in the '20s, which shows the roaring '20s had a dark side.  The trial became such a big deal because of the backlash and protesting the court received.

# data[].attributes.body
Grace Baker: My partner Adam and I discussed the case of Stucco and Vanzetti and their conviction in a murder of a white man. There was little to no evidence incriminating the two Italian immigrants and nativism influenced the decision to execute them. The 1920s were all about white pop culture and it seems that since they did not fit into the societal norms, they were punished for it. The crime associated with this case is also related to the organized crime created during Prohibition. Both put a kink in the seemingly enjoyable Roaring '20s through nativism and a divided country.

# data[].attributes.body
Malaika Affonso: My partner, Elaina Gable, discussed how the case study shows anti -Italian sentiment, when there were no clear witnesses to the "crime" committed. They were accused of murder, and the only evidence is that they owned guns and were part of an anarchist group. They were convicted on "suspicious behavior"; there was no real evidence. This article doesn't really align with the "Roaring Twenties" because that period was seen as an exciting, new and happy time full of dancing, drinking, partying, new fashion, and people just enjoying life. The label doesn't bring to mind the discrimination against immigrants that was very present, and how life wasn't so joyous for them. One key thing to know from this article is that even with minimal evidence, people can be convicted based on prejudice around their cultural identity.

# data[].attributes.body
Ivan Mallari: My partner Kaitlin described alcohol use in the 1920s, according to the article, was an American right and shouldn't be taken away by Prohibition. Relating to the 20s and the movie clip, people kept drinking and partying and there wasn't anyone who was against the alcohol use.

# data[].attributes.body
Ryan Kopanski: My partner Eli described the conviction of two Italian immigrants, Stucco & Vanzetti and the xenophobia/racism that led to their arrest, characterized their trial, and ended in their death. They were unfairly portrayed as radical anarchists, and there was little evidence incriminating them. This trial showcased the nativism and xenophobia that was still thriving in the United States.

# data[].attributes.body
Eli Bundy: Ryan Kopanski explained that Prohibition showcased differing ideals between freethinking liberals and religious conservatives. Rather than decreasing crime, Prohibition fostered organized crime for distributing illegal alcohol and ended up raising crime rates instead.

SIMON HAMRICK: my partner and love of my life sophia kozlowski said that alcohol had become a huge part of american life and culture by the time it was banned so taking it away was seen as unpatriotic and lame. it doesn't fit the "roaring 20s" idea because a big part of party culture is drinking and the government did not want that. most of american culture was built off the influence of alcohol. also AA got started in the 20s and during ww2 we boycotted alochol bc germans made a lot of alcohol.

# data[].attributes.body
ANAIS: My partner Morgan mentioned that her major takeaway was the way that even in times of great excitement for the country, injustice was still prevalent in our culture. She also said that the article doesn't really align with the largely romanticized version of the "roaring twenties" since its so unfair. One thing she said I must know from the article is that America was super divided and almost two different nations since one side was really ignorant and the other side was more progressive.

Aiden Wood & Maddie Kelley - Maddie and I discussed the relationship between our two articles. I read the Stucco and Vanzetti, and how it portrayed the ever-growing racism and xenophobia present in 1920's America. Foreign European immigrants were being discriminated against by citizens and the law because of the first world war. They were thought to be spies for enemy countries or plotting to overthrow governments. Maddie read about the Gilded Age and prohibition. It was a failed attempt at banning alcohol in hopes of limiting its usage. The consumption of alcohol in America was outrageous, mostly due to many Americans dealing with trauma and fear from the War. The alcohol was a huge part of the glamorous part of the 20's, highlighting the supposed constant partying and happiness. However, this was not really the 20's at all. This era was most definitely filled with partying, but mostly among the wealthy. Poor immigrants were being tormented by the law, and citizens everywhere were struggling with alcoholism.

SOPHIA KOZLOWSKI My partner and husband, simon hamrick, and I discussed the prejudice against them and that their arrest was unjust. It doesn´t the label of the roaring 20s because it wasn´t fun for immigrants :(. It was definitely fueled by nativism and there was more than enough evidence to free them.

Gabe- My partner Matthew and I discussed the importance of alcohol in American history and the failed attempt at regulating its effects through prohibition. We also discussed how the issue of temperance highlighted a common religious theme in issues throughout American history. We talked about the connection between the Sacco and Vanzetti trial and the nativist sentiment towards Italians in the 1920s.

Ellie Garner- My partner Lana and I discussed how the two articles we read relate to reach other. we discussed how in the article "Outlawing Satin's drink", how prohibition was very hard for American's becase of the abuse from years before. We also discussed the relation between Prohibition and the Sacco and Vanzetti article. We discussed how both articles had major relations to the roaring 20's. for Prohibition, drinking and trying to protest against it and wanting to break it. Also, Sacco and Vanzetti and how the trial was extremely unfair in the nation. One thing I think she should know is the opposition of Italian Immigrants and how this related to te issues in our nation.

# data[].attributes.body
Miranda H: My partner, Ms. Orchard, and I discussed the controversial Trial of Sacco and Vanzetti in which two Italian immigrants were unjustly executed for murder while their sentence was based on faulty and biased evidence. The presence of Nativism in the 1920 era had a strong effect on the treatment of the men as "anarchists" and the tragic outcome of their unfair trial. Within the context of the "Roaring Twenties," this situation is comparable to the Gilded Age in that it appears to be a time of great social reform and economic growth, but is twisted and corrupt behind the scenes. The enforcement of Prohibition in the first article doesn't fit the "Roaring Twenties" description either, with the deeply ineffective results of the Temperance movement and the consequential inflation of crime and illicit marketing. Alcohol was not only common but also a significant cultural part of American history.

# data[].attributes.body
McKenzie: My group and I discussed how the events and state of the Roaring 20's was very similar to the Gilded Age (ex. failed prohibition involving alcohol). The first article really aligns with some expectations of the common misleading point of view of this celebratory era (lots of alcohol and a carefree attitude). However, both articles contradict the idea that the 1920's was all perfect and provides a new point of view. The second article reveals that the theme of prejudice against "Non-Americans" still stays present in America, and the first article connects to how the unsuccessful outcome of prohibition has affected had affected American culture and its politics.

# data[].attributes.body
Matthew Blackburn - My Partner Gabriel talked about how alcohol was a key part of American culture and how Prohibition increased crime in America.  Due to the ban of alcohol consumption many people found illegal ways to purchase, consume, or make alcohol. People who were religious also agreed with the idea of Temperance which is the idea of not consuming alcohol.   Overall Prohibition caused many problems for the US and resulted in it being repealed.

# data[].attributes.body
Lana Baird - My partner Ellie and I discussed how prohibition in America didn't really work because of the use of alcohol which was a pleasure for many people in America. In the "Roaring 20s," it is evident that people like to party and drink a lot so we can relate this back to the articles. Alcohol was a major part of American culture, it was at every party but a downside from alcohol where crime rates increased.

# data[].attributes.body
Yosef Chang- My partner Naomi and I discussed the parallels between the actions towards prohibition and the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, in terms of their lack of alignment with the common portrayal of the Roaring Twenties. Both articles demonstrate that during this time, there was a large divide between communities, such as native-born whites and immigrants, and those who supported prohibition versus those who did not. Harsh sentiments of nativism, as well as the deep rooted alcoholism in United States history, demonstrate that the period of the Roaring Twenties were not so "Roaring".

# data[].attributes.body
Gabby Perrine- My partner Sophia Cosentino and I discussed the Italian immigration case. S and Z were accused of murder which, whether they did it or not, it was a miscarriage of justice. The judge very obviously wanted to prosecute them. People were prejudice against immigrants whether they were white or not which exemplifies the deep nativism of the country. Both men were also vocal anarcists, and the average American was terrified of leftism. In a sort of precursor to McCarthyism, the courts wanted to punish anyone who wasn't moderate or right-leaning. The Italian men had an unfortunate mixture of unpopular political ideas and being immigrants in the 1920s. This speaks to the fear at the heart of the 1920s-- the white American's hatred towards anyone who threatned to alter their way of life.

# data[].attributes.body
Sophia Cosentino - Gabby and I talked about the prohibition case. Heavy drinking was extremely common and considered a recreational activity. People used to drink far more than the average amount today. When this nativist american habit came to an abrupt stop with Prohibition, it did not have the effect the government had wished for. This initiated illegal alcohol dealing (aka bootlegging), as well as benefiting other illegal machines. Making alcohol illegal ultimately made no change, it was just a little harder to access.

# data[].attributes.body
Andrew Wise- Ethan Le and I discussed how the Immigrants and African Americans were murdered due to a lack of evidence, Prejudice was huge part throughout this article. This really showed how disgusting and terrible it was living as an immigrant in the 20th century. Lack of evidence is a huge thing as well and how it shows how even if they dont have any more new evidence they would still sentence them longer

My partner Sim read the article “Outlawing Satan’s Drink”. It was about prohibition, and all the different views pertaining to it. The author’s pro-alcohol views align well with the drinking and party scene of the 20s - however, prohibition in general takes away from the “roaring” aspect of the 20s. Prohibition led to reckless behavior, unsafe consumption of alcohol, increased violence and crime, etc. The author also seems to argue that alcohol is essential to American culture; outlawing it is inherently anti-American.

Elliott Catoe-Griffis: My partner Sammy Oronce and I discussed how the major takeaway from the article he read is that Carlson is arguing that since alcohol has played a key role in America from the very beginning, it should not have been prohibited in the 1920s or be prohibited ever again.  The article does align with the Roaring Twenties, because the author is very pro-alcohol, which fits into the speakeasy and bootleg culture of the 1920s. One notable think from the article is how he argues that a lot of culture and art like literature, visual art, and jazz stem from or are associated with alcohol.

# data[].attributes.body
Sammy Oronce. My partner Elliott Catoe-Griffis and I discussed how the nativist sentiment Americans felt towards Italians and that Sacco and Vanzetti's anarchistic beliefs could be detrimental to American society post WWI was the reasons they received such extreme sentences. This shows that the Roaring Twenties sucked for immigrants and was not completely "roaring". One thing one must note is that during this time the judge that sentenced Sacco and Vanzetti to death was in charge of the approval to any appeals to new evidence. The judge denied Sacco and Vanzetti eight times despite new evidence being brought so they were sentenced to death.

Savannah Halpern-The roaring twenties was not a reality, but simply a term created in an attempt to look at happy times in history, though this clearly was not. A more accurate description of this time would be the ¨two nations¨ that John Dos Pasos describes. When the twenties are described as roaring, this hides the horrors of nativism and prejudice in America at the time. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial represents just one example of the outcomes of nativism which lead to their unfair conviction and death. The other article shows the negative effects of prohibition and how it lead to gang violence and increased crime rates. Alcohol was such a big part of American culture, and prohibition was not helpful in the ¨roaring twenties.¨

Claire Teed- My partner Sophia and I discussed how the use alcohol has been a popular leisure activity since the founding of America. We also talked about how the prohibition era reflects how debates over the righteous values of religion and ideas of the "pursuit of happiness" have affected discussions in politics.

Grier Abercrombie- My partner, Haley, and I discussed the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti, and the racism that existed in society when blame was placed onto them with little evidence to support it. It does fit the Roaring 20s label with all the gang violence,  possession of firearms, and personal vendettas. The trial's result came from very little evidence and was based on nativist sentiments.

# data[].attributes.body
Haley Freeman - My partner Grier and I discussed that America is always impacted by alcohol and alcohol effects America. It is rooted in America's history. This article did not align with "roaring twenties" because there was supposedly a limit of alcohol and a limit on the excess pleasures (alcohol). Prohibition had negative effects in the public.

Tripp and Bryson(Who typed this post: WIlliam White)- Prohibition, there were many people drinking even with the alcohol ban in place. In the past, alcohol was used medicinally and it was during Prohibition when people were against it that they disliked the use of alcohol. They made the point that alcoholism was too rooted in America to be regulated legally.

# data[].attributes.body
Miles Kendrick 1) A major takeaway from the article was that drinking was justified because it was imbedded in American culture and everyone did it. 2) It did fit with the perception we have of the roaring 20's because it consisted of partying, alcohol, and a free thinking spirit. 3) One thing to know is that it was incredibly ineffective and was repealed in 1933.

Sophia Leonardi-  Claire and I discussed how the Sacco & Vanzetti case followed a pattern of American prejudice towards immigrants. The evidence of the case did not point to Sacco & Vanzetti but they were convicted and sentenced to death. This was most likely to make an example out of them to other immigrants.

# data[].attributes.body
William told Tripp (me) and Bryson about the Sacco Vanzetti Trial. It was a case against two Italian immigrants who were treated unfairly, and they were convicted using evidence that was ambigiously inconclusive. For example, a gun expert claimed that the bullets did not match up with the guns they allegedly used. Additionally, there was no translator for the immigrants, so they did not receive their rights to a free trial. This is an example of how radicalism and alcholism contributed to negative sentiments against immigrant populations.

Gus Varallo- Eloise and I discussed how alcohol is represented incredibly positively in one of the articles, as the author states that alcohol consumption is a cornerstone of American culture and should have never been banned. The author states that alcohol always aimed to bring people together instead of destroy relationships and drive people apart, and he paints prohibition as something that did more damage than alcohol. We also talked about how the Sacco and Vanzetti trial was less about evidence (as the evidence was very shaky) and more about how both of the defendants were Italian anarchists, both of which were heavily persecuted during this era. Radical politics were often demonized by anti-union companies during this time, and Italians were often hated by Nativists. Both of these persecutions played large roles in their convictions, as lots of members on the jury had prejudices against radicals and Italians.

Lauren Huser: My partner, Maya Drake, and I discussed the Sacco and Vanzetti case. A man was shot in the street by bandits. Two immigrant men were arrested for the murder, and the trial lasted for 6 years. All evidence pointed to the men being guilty, but the men were not fluent in English, so that factor was used against them. The lack of evidence and the corruptness of the case is incredibly frustrating. It doesn't fit the typical "1920s" description because people don't really relate immigration and court cases to the era.

# data[].attributes.body
Maya Drake- The alcohol consumption in the US was described by the author as a joke. The major takeaway was that alcohol consumption has shaped the country and even though prohibition occurred, it was unsuccessful. The article doesn't fit the roaring 20s ideal and goes throughout time. Something you must know about the article is that alcohol heavily influenced the culture of America throughout history.

Mariam- Cassidy and I had discussed that prohibition in America was flawed because it led to worse things like gang violence and organized crime. The article aligns with the image of the "roaring twenties" because there was this image of glamour and luxury but hate and prejudice beneath that. We also discussed the Sacco Vanzetti case and how it showed the prejudice and racism at the time and how America was truly divided. Nativism was also discussed and it shows how many Americans did not support the movement at that time

# data[].attributes.body
Cassidy- Mariam and I discussed the trickiness of the Sacco and Vanzetti case and how it represents a larger issue in America at the time. America in the 20s is depicted as being fun and filled with parties, however, this article showcased how divided America was. Nativism was a huge, growing issue in America at the time resulting from the mass amounts of immigrants flooding into the US showing how Sacco and Vanzetti might have been the victims of this resulting in their ultimate declared guilt and deaths. This article shifted focus away from the parties and showed the 20s in a new light, one that had rising crime rates, racism, and prohibition that allowed drinking to become a subset of American culture. We discussed the negative effects of alcohol and why prohibition ultimately failed. We also discussed how the article depicts alcohol as not representing Americans well.

Patrick- my partner and I had discussed the importance of the Sacco and Vanzetti case, and why it was such an impact on nativist groups and American Crime. Two men were charged with murder, but no one had known if the case was real or not due the lack of evidence, the amount of witnesses that were brought into the case. The case ended up with both men being sentenced to death by the electric chair. The major takeaways were that the system was corrupt and that evidence was lacking.

# data[].attributes.body
Marin Sinclair: My partner Ryan and I discussed how the major takeaway from the Sacco and Vinzetti article was that the trial was super corrupt, because there wasn't enough evidence to actually convict them of murder and then be killed, but they still got killed because of the different groups and nativism in this era that influenced the decision. This did not support the "Roaring Twenties" label because of the nativism ideals during this time that very strongly negatively impacted immigrants during this era. The thing we said we must know about this article was that these two immigrants were not only convicted with little evidence, but they also didn't have the ability to repeal. The main reason for their conviction was because they were immigrants, and because of this, they were sentenced to death.

# data[].attributes.body
Emily Cecil: My partner Sofia Lathbury and I discussed how prohibition in America didn't really work because citizens would always find a way to get alcohol. This article does align with the "roaring twenties" because alcohol was a major influence in American Culture. Alcohol was almost always present at parties and saloons/robrothels increased due to an increase in consumption of alcohol. There were also some downsides to the consumption of alcohol. Crime rates increased because of the prohibition of alcohol, leaving people desperate. This then lead to the smuggling of alcohol. Alcohol was drank often during the roaring twenties as a way of celebration.

Brady Bishop - The trial of Sacco and Vanzetti was extremely unfair, leading to the deaths of two Italian immigrants. With their deaths, the idea that the "roaring" age they lived in became less glamorous than people thought. This compiled with the growth in organized crime due to prohibition took attention away from fancy dresses and tall buildings, and turned the attention to gangsters and corruption during the decade leading up to the Great Depression.

Ryan Hinske - My partner, Marin Sinclair, and I discussed the trends of the the "roaring" twenties and what truths lied beneath the perceived glamour and wealth of the era. The major takeaways from the Sacco and Venzetti case was the rampant naticism and division between the white and immigrant groups. Takeaways from the prohibition article include the accelerating trends of corruption and alcoholism, eliciting hatred and division between groups of people. Both takeaways are similar in that they argue the division and hatred of the country. The articles do not align with the "Roaring Twenties" label because they highlight themes of division and hatred that are not included in our general perception of the era. One important point from the first article is that drinking actually increased during the Prohibition era, while the second article highlihts the blatant unconstitutionality of the trial when the two friends were denied appeals and retrials.

Griffin Hargett: Alcoholism was unaffected. it was just as easy to get alcohol with prohibition as it was without prohibition. Prohibition divided the county. It partly identified with the 20s. The only relation is the alcohol and money, all of the crime, and violence was not. The 18th amendment was irrelevant to slowing the distribution to alcohol and instead helped give way to organized crime (AKA the Mafia/Mob). The repealing of the 18th amendment caused bar attendance increased.

# data[].attributes.body
Emily Russell: El and I discussed the effectiveness of the prohibition movement and also how unfairly Socco and Vanzetti were treated. I read the prohibition article, which showed that the 18th amendment actually increased the amount of drinking and places that sold alcohol. This depiction of an increase in alcohol consumption seems to fit with the lifestyle of glamour and indulgence typically associated with the Roaring 20s. The most crucial thing from the article was the assertion that drinking increased and also the scope of influence of alcohol throughout history. The author uses many examples to attempt to show the necessity of alcohol in America.

Philia - My partner, Alma Lutas, and I discussed the two articles we each read. Mine was about prohibition and it´s history in America. We analyzed the effectiveness of the 18th amendment and the author bias in the article. Alma´s article was about two Italian immigrants, Socco and Vanzetti, being accused of murder. We thought this reflected the unfair treatment of Italian Americans in the justice system.

El Drye - my partner Emily Russell and I discussed how alcohol has been important throughout history and prohibition didn´t really work and that´s why there´s the view of people drinking so much then. also how racism and nativism led to Sacco and Vanzetti being convicted (given the death penalty) of a crime that there wasn´t enough evidence to convict them of.

Sofia Lathbury- My partner Emily Cecil and I discussed the case of Sacco and Vanzetti. People believed that the trial was unconstitutional because it was unfair. The major takeaway is that the "Roaring Twenties" weren't as glamorous as they made it out to be because of discrimination against immigrants. It did not fit with the era because of this type of discrimination. She said to know that discrimination against immigrants was widely spread throughout the US and that there was a large separation between the rich and poor classes.

Hayes Martini- My partner Sophia and I discussed the discrimination socco and vanzetti faced and although the article had a lot of info in it, that is what stood out the most. We also talked about how American culture was "based" off of drinking. I think the prohibition article has a "roaring 20s" label because during that time drinking was a very important part of leisure time. It is important to note that there were "two nations" one consisting of mostly white, native-born Americans and one nation with immigrants (according to the article). In the other article there was a divide between things were being portrayed and the need for reform.

Sophia Sinor: Hayes and I discussed the oppression of Italian immigrants during this era as well as the divide in American culture over prohibition.  Neither of these peaces of information really aligns with the image that is often portrayed of the "Roaring Twenties" which is that of glamorous and indulgent lifestyles. It is important to know what a big role alcohol has played in American culture and advertising as well as acknowledging the divide between the country at the time in terms of white native born Americans and immigrants.
