The noisy social life in the 1920s.

In the 1920s, both the United States and Canada showed different degrees of xenophobia. 1924, the United States passed the immigration bill, which restricted immigrants (excluding African-Americans) from countries whose existing immigrants reached 2% of the total population of the United States in 1890. Affected by this bill, the immigration tide from Europe to the United States came to an end in the first 20 years of the 20th century. Asian and Indian immigrants are completely banned. 19 13, California passed Webb-Haniffa to prevent foreigners without citizenship from acquiring private land. Another 1 1 states have passed similar bills.

In Canada, 1923 promulgated the Immigration Act of China, which restricted almost all immigrants from Asia. The country has also passed other laws to control immigration in South-East Europe.

ban

1920, 18 constitutional amendment passed. The original intention of this amendment was to try to alleviate some social problems by banning alcohol, but it backfired, and the new problems brought by alcohol prohibition were much more serious. After the prohibition bill based on the amendment of 18 was passed, the United States began to completely ban the manufacture, sale, import and export of all alcoholic beverages. From then on, organized crime began to breed all over the United States, smuggling intensified, and all illegal underground activities related to alcohol were making huge profits. In Canada, although prohibition has never been implemented nationwide, the influence of prohibition in the United States is still very far-reaching.

Illegal bar

During the Prohibition Law 14 period, various illegal bars (Speakeasy) began to appear all over the United States, which led to the emergence of some underworld gangs. These bars are usually closely related to criminal organizations and smugglers. Although American police and FBI officials often search these bars, they have never arrested anyone who is behind the scenes. Because of the huge profits, such bars have developed into illegal places all over the United States within a few years. Illegal bars are well decorated, offering all kinds of food and live performances. Usually, the police are bribed to tip them off in case the police suddenly attack.
