Al Capone
Al Capone was the most notorious gangster in American history. What's weird about him is that at first, many people believed him to be a savior. As History.com states, " Some even considered him a kind of Robin Hood figure, or as anti-Prohibition resentment grew, a dissident who worked on the side of the people." While everyone thought he was a good guy then, they would be baffled to hear that he's killed or hurt many people. Once they heard that Capone's name was connected to violence, he wasn't as popular.

Stand Tall play
This play starts in 1913 and goes to 1920. According to the play from Sirs Discoverer, there was a parade to support women suffrage in 1913 and the flyers were disguised as tea-party invites. The reasoning for this is because many men didn't want this to happen, they thought women should stay home and not have a voice, so they disguised them like the invitations so people who didn't support their cause would know what it was.
