Also women were able to vote, wear whatever they wanted in public and also could smoke in public. The underground liquor business was making moonshiners a fortune. Also in the 1920\u2019s moonshiners looked to Henry Ford\u2019s company for faster and more efficient cars to get away from the cops. Henry Ford model T was introduced to the world in 1908 and everyone wanted to buy his car for a much simpler way of life. Due to people&#8217;s lack of self control they partied and drank themselves to bed. This went on for a couple of years leading up to the Great Depression of the 1920\u2019s. A lot of people lost their jobs or lost everything in the stock market throughout that hard and deverlent time period.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew Blair Whenever people talk about the 1920\u2019s I immediately think about jazz.
