Paraphrasing
"The twenties were the years when drinking was against the law, and the law was
a bad joke because everyone knew of a local bar where liquor could be had. They
were the years when organized crime ruled the cities, and the police seemed
powerless to do anything against it. Classical music was forgotten while jazz
spread throughout the land, and men like Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, and
Count Basie became the heroes of the young. The flapper was born in the
twenties, and with her bobbed hair and short skirts, she symbolized, perhaps more
than anyone or anything else, America's break with the past." From Kathleen
Yancey,English 102 Supplemental Guide (1989): 25.

During the twenties, lawlessness and social nonconformity prevailed. In cities,

organized crime flourished without police interference, and, in spite of nationwide
prohibition of liquor sales, anyone who wished to buy a drink knew where to get
one. Musicians like Louis Armstrong become favorites, particularly among young
people, as many turned away from highly respectable classical music to jazz. One
of the best examples of the anti-traditional trend was the proliferation of young
"flappers," women who rebelled against custom by cutting off their hair and
shortening their skirts (Yancey 25)
