In this presentation, you'll learn how the 18th Amendment arrived in January, 1920, and quickly changed America. You'll peek into the Roaring Twenties where bootleggers, rum runners, and speakeasies made their way through the decade on a river of booze when it was against the law to manufacture, sell, or transport liquors. The law said nothing was illegal about drinking it!
