I think the book is going to be about prohibition relating to America and important events that relate to America today. I haven't been in class but I've done a bit of research and it seems like it might, have something to do with the dawn of major organized crime in America, something to do with alcohol maybe?
As far as interesting stuff goes, I learned that the ammount of money needed to survive has changed since the 1920's. Back then, under a thousand dollars a year was very common and was a livable income. But now it takes almost ten times that much to live in comfort! A huge wakeup call to how much the value of a dollar has really dropped if you ask me.
