    During the 1920s in America: Flappers challenged traditional women's roles by cutting their hair short, wearing short skirts, and socializing outside the home. Women gained more independence as they married later, had fewer children, and pursued work or charity. The Red Scare spread fears of communism due to the rise of the Soviet Union and events like the Palmer Raids which deported immigrants without cause. The temperance movement and 18th Amendment banned alcohol, leading to bootlegging and speakeasies, until Prohibition was repealed in 1933. The KKK also resurged, targeting Jews, Catholics, immigrants and African Americans.
