Dawes negotiated loans in order to prevent another war. ]]> 2020-10-16 04:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nikab04/xe8hhqcxza5gkdd2/wish/834765323 nikab04 https://padlet.com/nikab04/xe8hhqcxza5gkdd2/wish/834765364 The last Model T Ford became unpopular. Around 1 million New Yorkers mobbed shows rooms in order to view the new Model A.

This became the era where the manufacturing, selling, and transporting alcoholic beverages became illegal. Reformers were lead to believe that alcohol was a cause of corruption and believed too much drinking would then lead to an increase in crime, abuse, and accident rates.

So, this lead to the beginning of speakeasies, which is basically and underground nightclub where one could go to have liquor.]]> 2020-10-16 04:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nikab04/xe8hhqcxza5gkdd2/wish/834765588 nikab04 https://padlet.com/nikab04/xe8hhqcxza5gkdd2/wish/834765613 The first law that was passed that made it a crime to teach evolution was in Tennessee. Teachers were able to challenge the law with American Civil Liberties Union other side. A biology teacher name dJohn T. Scopes decided he did want to take that challenge, however, he was immediately arrested. Clarence Darrow was then hired to defend Scopes because he was the best lawyer at the time, yet there wasn't much argument over innocence or being guilty because Scopes admitted to his actions.
