Viking VacuumJazz, alcoholic beverages and Bootleggers: America in the Twenties

Human life in this world has often seen transitions. These transitions occurred in all ages, in all ages. However, the recent transitions, which took place in the twenty-first have never ever impressed me. The twentieth century has been a little better, but not the best. The eighties did see some good developments, but obviously it would be the twenties, which I believe all individuals in the present age would have loved to live in. Unfortunately, there are very few from that era are still alive, and most of them are in their late ninetees or hundreds. But their memories are so clear, after all can we forget the days of the golden age of America.

The Prelude 1918 - 1923

The period of progress and transition, which is called "Roaring Twenties" or the "Jazz Age" has its origins in the optimistic and progressive thinking of a new generation of Americans who have emerged from the rigors of the First World War. The Treaty of Versailles in 1919 had destroyed the power of the enemy they had feared so completely that Americans feel more secure. Consequently, the economy reached new heights. Their purchasing power has increased considerably and they spent lavishly on the enjoyment and the dress. This phase of progress was contemporaneous with the adoption of the Volstead Act on January 29, 1920, which conducted the sale of all forms of alcoholic beverages, illegal. This led to the birth of a thriving company whose captains contraband smuggling liquor from Canada. For this reason, the period from 1920 and ending in 1933, when the ban was ended by an amendment, also known as the "Prohibition Era.

Another major invention that epitomizes the American thought and culture during the 1920s was the Colt submachine-Thomson whose inventor General John T. Thomson has released a version for the general public in 1919. This gun, known colloquially as the gun "Tommy" was the deadliest weapon ever wielded by the American public and soon found favor in the eyes of company managers who used them to smuggle effect of some of the most horrific murders never committed.

 

The Golden Age 1923 - 1929

The prosperity and development in America was at its peak between 1923 and 1929. Passenger cars became the most preferred transport. Ford, Dodge Brothers, Packard, Haynes and Winton were among the top automakers. lavish lifestyle, expensive vacations and expensive jewelry has become the trend of the time.

The year 1923 saw the death of President Warren Harding also saw the rise of a hitherto unknown gangster, Alphonse Capone Al Capone or the distant city of Chicago. Capone grew rapidly in the ranks of organized crime, eventually moving his boss Johnny Torrio and grabbed control of crime syndicates across the U.S.. Known popularly as "Scarface" Capone was the most feared gangster of his time and practically out of Chicago until the early 1930s with its money and muscle power (at one point, he even had a mayor of Chicago William Hale "Thomson, known as" Big Bill "in his pay). This period is remembered in Chicago for gangwars, night clubs where illegal liquor and jazz music were served, the rampant corruption in the administration and Police and the horrible murders of civilians and police encounters that took place.

 

Costume

A typical man of the 1920s wore a cotton shirt or silk and suspenders. The men belonging to the rapid growth of the American middle class wore on their shirts buttoned jackets and a coat over their jackets. It is not uncommon, bow ties or jackets buttoned replaced. Hats, monocle and cane were the fashion of the time and we were.
