Between 1910 and 1930, Americans believed Satan was corrupting the nation through jazz music, movies, women's bobbed hair, and even canoes. Real laws were passed. Real people went to jail. Women were fired for cutting their hair. Thousands were deported for attending the wrong meetings. States banned teaching evolution. The moral panic was everywhere—and it was documented in congressional hearings, medical journals, and actual criminal prosecutions. This isn't speculation. It's history. "Signs The Devil Holds" reveals what Americans feared most during the Roaring Twenties—and how every single panic eventually faded when society realized the devil was never really there.

The greater someone's intelligence, the more likely they are to provoke offense in others - whether through unintentional intellectual intimidation or the discomfort their insights create.
