Religion played an important role in Puritan life. They felt that they were chosen by God for a special purpose and that they must live every moment in a God-fearing manner. Every man, woman, and child was expected to attend the meeting on the Sabbath without question. Puritans were required to read the Bible which showed their religious discipline. If they didn't read the Bible, it was thought that they were worshiping the devil.
Preparatons for the Sabbath began the say before. All of the good had to be cook and clothes ready. No labor, not even sewing, could be done on the Sabbath. The Sabbath began at sundown the night before, and the evening was spent in prayer and Bible study.
The church was usually a small bare building. Upon entering people would take their appropriate places. The men sat on one side, the women sat on the other, and the boys did not sit with their parents, but sat together in a designated pew where they were expected to sit in complete silence. The deacons sat in the front row just below the pulpit because everyone agreed the first pew was the one of highest dignity. The servants and slaves crowded near the door and rushed to a loft or balcony.
The service began with a prayer given by the minister that usually lasted around an hour. Puritans did not like music in their services. They also felt that music and celebrating were not appropriate in the church meeting house. It was many years before any musical instruments were allowed in the church.
After the prayer, the minister would contiue with an emotional sermon. The minister's sermon would last for two, three, even four hours at a time without restroom breaks or intermissions. The Puritans listened intently to the terrible warnings of sin and punishment.

The 1920s were a time of highs and lows for the United States. More Americans were living in cities instead of farms, more people had money to spend, and the country became more united through music, dancing, and fashion. Citizens who weren't too happy with these changes wanted lawmakers to stop making and selling alcoholic beverages. They thought by not allowing people to drink alcohol, there would be less crime and people would be more likely to make good choices. The 18th Amendment was created to prohibit the creation, sale, or transportation of alcohol. Their plan didn't quite work out that way though. Bars and places to purchase alcohol were created in secret where Americans could illegally purchase alcohol. These were called 'speakeasies". These speakeasies came as a consequence of the addition of the 18th Amendment to the Consitution. This is also known as Prohibition.
During the Gilded Age due to reconstruction, increased manufacturing, and share-cropping much wealthy during that time was in the hands of few people.
