Acrostic Poem

People becoming
Rum runners
Over the border of Canada
Hard to enforce because the
IRS was put in charge
Banning the sale and manufacture of
Intoxicating liquors
The 18th Amendment
Increased amount of drinking, instead
Of reducing it, in 1932 18th Amendment was
No longer enforced

Rapid growth in industry creating transition
Of culture
And lifestyles, introducing
Harlem Renaissance and Jazz Age
Immortalized in movies and magazines, flappers did
Not conform to society, baring their arms and
Gams, and smoking and drinking publicly
The 19th Amendment passes in 1920 granting
Women political
Equality and rights
New technologies like planes and automobiles created by
The assembly line, prohibition makes alcohol
Illegal, however
Enforcement seems impossible because of the
Speakeasy, in the back of stores
