Americas came to the conclusion that labor troubles were all being formed by "bomb-and-whisker Bolshevik", witch was causing
strikes in Seattle in 1919. The Big Red Scare was a result of roughly 6,000 deportation of any suspicion of communism, or anyone who non-Americanism was suspected. ]]> 2018-02-01 13:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/wilson_pk/4e6cbpjjfkec/wish/227008002 wilson_pk https://padlet.com/wilson_pk/4e6cbpjjfkec/wish/227008054 The Ku Klux Klan were spawned by the postwar reaction,  in the early
1920s. All of them were antiforeign, anti-Catholic, antiblack, anti-Jewish, antipacifist, anti-Communist, anti-
internationalist, anti-evolutionist, antibootlegger, antigambling, antiadultery, and anti–birthcontrol. Over all they were extremist founded in the Reconstruction era.

The KKK was an alarming manifestation of the intolerance and prejudice
plaguing people anxious about the dizzying pace of social change in the 1920s.Despite the
Klan’s decline, civil rights activists fought in vain for legislation making lynching a federal
crime, as lawmakers feared alienating southern white voters.]]> 2018-02-01 13:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wilson_pk/4e6cbpjjfkec/wish/227008054 wilson_pk https://padlet.com/wilson_pk/4e6cbpjjfkec/wish/227008081 2018-02-01 13:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/wilson_pk/4e6cbpjjfkec/wish/227008081 moutinho_i https://padlet.com/wilson_pk/4e6cbpjjfkec/wish/227008452 - In 1919, the Volstead Act was passed to prohibit the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages.
- Moonshiners ( people who illegally sold alcoholic beverages ) made a lot of money selling on the side, especially in the South and in the West.
- The government believed that by prohibiting alcohol, it would lower crime rates.
- Many soldiers that returned from France complained that the government passed that law on them while they were away.
- This caused some good things. Bank savings increased and absenteeism industry decreased.
- Death rates from alcoholism and cirrhosis declined, and on the whole, less alcohol was consumed than in the days before prohibition.

- In 1932, he was jailed for falsifying his income-tax.
- Capone served eleven years in jail but when released he was soon murdered.
- Gangsters made honest merchants pay “ protection money” ad when they didn’t, the gangsters would vandalize their property and even beat them up.

Lindbergh,  flew from NewYork to Paris in thirty-three hours and thirty-nine minutes. A new industry was born the aviation industry, the
accident rate in the pioneer stages of aviation was high, though hardly more so than on the early railroads. By the 1930s and 1940s, travel by air on regularly scheduled airlines
was significantly safer than on many overcrowded highways. The arial industry was fatal for the railroad industry. Air travel increased civilization and gave opportunities to create arial bombs
.

The radio took the spotlight from the airplane. Guglielmo Marconi invented wireless telegraphy in the 1890s it was used for communication during WW1. In the early years, when only a handful of
households could afford a radio, listening brought family and neighbors together to share a common experience. Educationally and culturally, the radio made a significant contribution. Sports were further stimulated.

The economy was falling apart in the 1920s, several hundred banks failed annually. This well illustrated by real estate speculation, especially the fantastic Florida boom that culminated in 1925. many underwater lots were sold to eager purchasers for preposterous sums. The whole wildcat scheme fell a part when the peninsula was
devastated by a West Indian hurricane, which belied advertisements of a “soothing tropical wind.”
