The History of Florida: The 1920s | a Short Documentary

Описание: In the 1920s, Florida modernized rapidly due to a land boom, railroads, and tourism. Prohibition led to rum-running, while land developers transformed cities. The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 caused massive destruction. Racial injustice persisted, but cultural life thrived. Notable figures included John Ashley and Ernest Hemingway. Cooling methods evolved pre-air conditioning.
