Prohibition

Definition Prohibition- the act of forbidding something, especially by law. The prevention by law of the manufacture and sale of alcohol, especially in the United States between the years of 1920 and 1933. -

History The 18th Amendment- Jan 16, 1920-Feb 17, 1933 Commonly referred to as the “Great Experiment” or the “Noble Experiment” Herbert Hoover was president during the time of enactment and he said, “Our country has deliberately undertaken a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.“

Why? It "was undertaken to reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce the tax burdened created by prisons and poorhouses, and improve health and hygiene in America.” http://www.history.com/topics/prohibition/videos/bet-you-didnt-know-prohibition

Enforcement National enforcement of prohibition was difficult. Enforcement was originally assigned to the IRS and later switched to the Justice Department. Early success with a 30% drop in the consumption of alcohol.

Results Many people did not want to stop drinking and found ways around the law. Many speakeasies (illegal buying and drinking spots) popped up. Bootlegging (illegal production and sale of liquor) increased, especially the creation of moonshine or “bathtub gin”. Moonshine Distillery in Wisconsin

Results Cont. Since the act of bootlegging or operating speakeasies was illegal, the amount of criminal activity skyrocketed. Most notorious example: Al Capone. Capone generated as much as $60 million per year. Other gang activity increased as well. One example is the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929 in Chicago. (Gang on gang violence)

The Downfall Support for Prohibition continued to decline. As the Great Depression began in 1932, the government was looking for a way to add jobs and revenue. The revenue from legalizing alcohol and creating jobs to make it was a huge appeal.

How did it end? Franklin D. Roosevelt ran against Hoover. FDR ran on the platform that supported ending Prohibition. After FDR won the election, Congress proposed the 21st Amendment which would repeal the 18th. In December 1933, the 21st Amendment was ratified. Although a few states continued prohibition for a few years, all had deserted the ban by 1966.
