Prohibition, the period from 1919 to 1933, during which the use, sale and manufacture of alcohol was severely restricted is thought to be a turning point in the relationship with law and authority in the United States. Prohibition gave rise to a massive criminal element which ignored the law. The ir efforts were successful and the criminals became "folk heros". Common citizens were prone to use the illegal sources to obtain their alcohol and the alcohol culture of flappers, bathtub gin and rum runners became inculcated into society. When Prohibition failled, the criminals were seen to have won.
The awareness that this brought to society was:
* the government is not always right * getting illicit materials from criminals is acceptable * sneaking to get illicit materials is "fun" * the government can be beaten if it imposes controls on the populations lifestyle
