Memory-Boosting Paragraph

In the 1920s, flappers danced in speakeasies during Prohibition (18th Amendment), while Harding’s corrupt Ohio Gang made headlines. Bootleggers thrived, as did assembly lines, driving the Great Migration north. In the '30s, the Great Depression hit after Black Tuesday (10/29/29), leading to foreclosures, bank runs, and veterans (Bonus Army) demanding pensions. FDR’s New Deal brought Relief, Recovery, and Reform via programs like the Social Security Act and the Brain Trust advisors. Meanwhile, the Dust Bowl blew due to drought, while globally, appeasement enabled fascist totalitarianism like Hitler’s Blitzkrieg and his Holocaust. WWII began, and the Lend-Lease Act helped allies until Pearl Harbor (12/7/41) brought the U.S. in, finally ending the Depression.
