By: Andrew Mitchell & LaVonne Davis, Jr.

Prohibition was the ban of all alcohol in the U.S. and made it illegal to sell. The 18 th was passed to ban alcohol.

It was the ban of all alcohol in the U.S. People though it would save families and would reduce crime due to intoxication. The middle class hated the volstead act

To reduce crime due to intoxication Religious morals(the devils drink) Liquor led to more prostitution To save grain/money for the war

Americans would drink at speak-easies which were bars that sold alcohol illegally. People made home made liquor. Imported from other countries Bribed police and government officials

18 th amendment/Volstead Act Ratified on January 16 th, 1919 Prohibited the sale/manufacture of alcohol

Many people were for the Volstead act like… -Women/families: for a long/safe marriage -Factories: no drinking while working -most fundamentalists -Senate: said will reduce crime

There were also many people against the 18 th amendment like… -businesses who made it: lost their jobs -small-town residents/farmers -immigrants: big drinkers in their countries -most middle class -Woodrow Wilson

Disrespect towards the law Rise in organized crime(Al Capone) Corrupted parts the government Increased drug habits(speakeasy clubs)

In the end the Volstead act failed when the 21 st amendment replaced it in January 17, 1933 because… Too much money was used to enforce it Was creating more crime Was corrupting parts of the government
