What was life like in the 1920's?

The war had just ended, people wanted to celebrate. The decade of the 20's was one that welcomed illegal booze and gangs. It saw the rise of Jazz and radio and crime. Crime unfortunately became common all over New York, this was due to the prohibition of alcohol and the number of limited jobs. Bootleggers was the term used to describe people who would smuggle liquor into the city.
However some jobs were made by the beginning of mass production. This was popularised by Ford, the motor company. This also led to the mass production of automobiles.
