Once upon a time, in a far away land, 

there was a little thing called a 

prohibition. A Prohibition was when, the

famous drink root beer was banned,

because men were going

out and getting sugar rushes from the

root beer. Then, they were going home with a 

sugar rush and hurting their wives because 

they were so hyper.

All the men and women protested because they 

couldn't live with out their favorite drink, root 

beer. The protesting did nothing and root beer 

continued to be illegal. People couldn't live 

without their root beer, so people called 

bootleggers traveled far across the land to 

countries where root beer was not banned and you 

could buy as much as your little heart desired.  

Once the bootleggers got the root beer, they would 

sneak it into the United States.

Since there were so many people 

sneaking root beer into the United 

States.   Play places for the adults were 

made, they were called speakeasies. At 

speakeasies the adults would drink as 

much root beer as they could, while it 

was being hidden in the play places.

Speakeasies were places that any adult 

was allowed to go to, although most of 

the time there was a specific type of 

person that would be found there, these 

people were called the flappers.  

Flappers were very free and didn't 

listen to the "normal" rules of being a 

lady.

So many people were going to the 

speakeasies, so they needed to get a lot 

of root beer for the speakeasies.   To get 

such a large amount of root beer, 

people would travel to far away lands 

with big trucks and boats to bring all of 

the root beer back to the United States.

Flappers went out at night and drank root beer, 

rather than staying home.   These women were also 

known to wear very short dresses or skirts, that 

they would dance in all night.   The flappers didn't 

want to be like other women, they wanted to think 

and do for themselves.

Although root beer was banned, some 

police disagreed with the law.   Some 

police went to speakeasies just like 

everyone else, to hangout with their 

friends and drink root beer.
