Changing Ways Of Life:
During the 1920s, urbanization continued to accelerate
For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than in rural areas
New York City was home to over 5 million people in 1920!
![Page 6: The Roaring Life of the 1920’s Chapter 13 US History Mr. Basich.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d755503460f94a5519a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Urban vs. Rural:
Throughout the 1920s, Americans found themselves caught between urban and rural cultures
Urban life was considered a world of anonymous crowds, strangers, moneymakers, and pleasure seekers
Rural life was considered to be safe, with close personal ties, hard work and morals

Prohibition:
One example of the clash between city & farm was the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1920
This Amendment launched the era known as Prohibition
The new law made it illegal to make, sell or transport liquor
Prohibition lasted from 1920 to 1933

Speakeasies And Bootleggers:
To obtain liquor illegally, drinkers went underground to hidden saloons known as speakeasies
People also bought liquor from bootleggers - illegal smugglers who brought alcohol in from Canada, Cuba and the West Indies
![Page 10: The Roaring Life of the 1920’s Chapter 13 US History Mr. Basich.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d755503460f94a5519a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Organized Crime:
Prohibition contributed to the growth of organized crime in every major city
Chicago became notorious as the home of Al Capone – a famous bootlegger and organized crime boss
Capone took control of the Chicago liquor business by killing off his competition
Eventually prohibition would fall out of favor with most of the American public

Science and Religion Clash:
Another battleground during the 1920s was between fundamentalist religious groups and other thinkers over the truths of science
Fundamentalists found all truth in the bible – including science & evolution
What do you think the said about Darwin?
![Page 13: The Roaring Life of the 1920’s Chapter 13 US History Mr. Basich.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d755503460f94a5519a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Scopes Trial:
In March 1925, Tennessee passed the nation’s first law that made it a crime to teach evolution
John Scopes - was a biology teacher who dared to teach his students that man derived from lower species (Darwin)
![Page 14: The Roaring Life of the 1920’s Chapter 13 US History Mr. Basich.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d755503460f94a5519a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Scopes Trial: Cont.
Clarence Darrow (top), the most famous trial lawyer of the era, was hired to defend Scopes
The prosecution countered with William Jennings Bryan (bottom), the three-time Democratic presidential nominee
![Page 15: The Roaring Life of the 1920’s Chapter 13 US History Mr. Basich.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d755503460f94a5519a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Scopes Trial: Cont.2
The trial opened on July 10,1925 and became a national sensation
In an unusual move, Darrow called Bryan to the stand as an expert on the bible – key question: Should the bible be interpreted literally?
Under intense questioning, Darrow got Bryan to admit that the bible can be interpreted in different ways
Nonetheless, Scopes was found guilty and fined $100
