Overview of the 1920s in America
The decade was marked by significant cultural, social, and technological changes.
New York City's Broadway, known as the Great White Way, served as a hub for nightlife and entertainment.
Prohibition and Speakeasies
Prohibition banned the sale and consumption of alcohol, leading to the rise of speakeasies, which were illegal bars.
Notably, Maryland had a lax enforcement of Prohibition laws, allowing for continued drinking.
Speakeasies became social hubs where people gathered despite the law.
