Summary: |
This book tells the story of what happened after Prohibition began (1/17/20). Authentic illustrations and photographs illustrate the volume. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Lots of interesting and surprising history here. Students may wish to keep notes of interesting tidbits as they read. Several issues could provide focus for further inquiry--rebellious teens, Constitutional amendments, women as political forces, Washington insiders, gangsters. Hints at the end about parallels to today's drug wars might provide an interesting extension. |
