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.

Non-adherence to the rule of law was the order of the twenties. For instance, though illegal, atleast people knew where they could access drinks. In as much as police were mandated to keep crimes out of streets, organized crime syndicates still controlled the cities. in addition to knew fashion being introduced the era was also characterized with a clear transition to jazz music with the young people idolizing musicians like Count Basie (Yancey 1989, p.25) English Supplemental Guide.
