For instance, ten years earlier women were wearing their skirts down to their ankles in 1910 and their hair uncut, maybe to their hips. Then, in 1920 skirts were tight and above the knees, --- hair bobbed, cut off at the ears... Then, there was Prohibition, --- from 1920-1933, a time when many average citizens of the United States broke the law. Prohibition also directly led to the rise of Organized Crime. I can hardly believe that lawmakers and other groups who encouraged no-drinking would think that making alcohol illegal would stop people from imbibing. REALLY... Did They expect folks not to drink a little wine or beer in their parlors, or maybe more than a little???
Above, from "Legends Of The Fall,"--- Tristan thinks about going into bootlegging: "Good money in bootlegging, if you know what you're doing."
