Political Aspects
of the 1920s
The kkk was revived in Georgia. They were against anyone who wasn’t 100% white. People who joined were most likely people who competing against races for a job. They supported the prohibition act. There is no know kkk around but there probably still here, just hiding.
The prohibition was not favored with most people. Some people, along with the government thought that the act of making purchasing alcohol illegal would be effective, but most people ignored the law and drank it anyway. People met in speakeasies, that were illegal saloons, and drank illegal liquor. you were able to brew your own liquor, but you couldn’t sell it or buy any. Since the amount of liquor went down the amount of crime went up and the # of deaths too. There is not prohibition act and people are allowed to drink out in public but they cant drink and drive. There is a lot more caar accidents then there were back then.
Women were allowed to vote in tennessee. That contributed the debate of whether women should be allowed to vote. the national level helped sustain the women’s rights movement. Most women casted the same vote as the men in her family. women started to work in higher level positions, like in the congress. Now women are allowed to vote. Women are still not as equal as men yet but more than how they used to be.
