groups, the media and public opinion Mrs. Urbach’s comment: EXPLAIN HOW THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT SWAYED PUBLIC OPINION TO OUTLAW THE DISTRIBUTION AND MANUFACTURING OF ALCOHOL

e. The Roaring Twenties Mrs. Urbach’s comment: EXPLAIN THE BACK LASH OF PROHIBITION: ORGANIZED CRIME, ILLEGAL BARS, etc.

3. Analyze the geographic processes that contributed to changes in American society including:
b. Urbanization and suburbanization;  Mrs. Urbach’s comment: EXPLAIN THE TENSION BETWEEN THE MORALTY OF THOSE WHO LIVED IN RURAL AREAS OPPOSED TO THOSE WHO LIVED IN URBAN AREAS
