The Roaring Twenties have become romanticized and part of our pop culture history, but they had a dark side. In this class, we will discuss the history of the temperance movement, the push for prohibition of alcohol, and learn how society reacted and adapted. We will learn about the growth of organized crime and examine how and when this constitutional amendment was repealed. This class does discuss the history of alcohol culture in the United States. Parents should be aware that there will be photos of alcohol and people drinking. This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities. Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself.
