Prohibition

It created a massive business opportunity that was "too good to refuse". Despite making the consumption of alcohol illegal, the desire and demand did not go away. Organized crime saw the potential in manufacturing and distributing the illegal substance to drinking establishments. Supply and demand. The basics of business with rewards that not only the criminal element, but the consumer viewed as being worth the legal risk.

Islam forbids all that is harmful for a person like alcohol is fatal for own's health so it is prohibited.Likewise Riba that is interest is forbidden as it causes a lot of misery to one who borrows. the borrower takes loan because he is already so needy and he is distressed to return the loan with extra huge amount of money with it that is interest.So Islam is a religion for own's own benefit one may understand it now or in future!

The banning of the making, selling and drinking of alcohol. Basically it was a ban on alcoholic beverages. No one was allowed to make, sell or drink alcohol. Prohibition was the period between 1919 and 1933 in the United States and Canada, when the manufacture, purchase, transportation, import, export, and sale of alcoholic beverages was prohibited by the Volstead Act (which became law on January 16, 1920), enforcing Amendment 18 to the United States Constitution (which became law on January 16, 1919). It was repealed in 1933 by Amendment 21. Prohibition went into effect on January 16, 1920 and was finally abolished by passage of the Blaine Act on February 17, 1933.

Prohibition caused much political attention to be diverted from other very important matters.

People WQho Were Tired Of Alcohole Users Wanted It. So Did the Government.

National Prohibition largely destroyed the alcohol industry. A few wineries survived by making wine for religious observances, a few breweries survived by making ice cream and other products, and a few distilleries survived by making industrial alcohol.

Passage of the 18th Amendment, passage of the Volstead Act, passage of the 21st Amendment, and the St. Valentine's Day massacre.

No one really knows.

The difference is it only took 13 years to realize that alcohol prohibition was a moronic idea that caused more problems then it solved. After 70+ years we still foolishly think we can eliminate vice through legislation.

THE 18th AMENDMENT!

Voting for no other candidates but those on the Prohibition Party ticket or only for those who supported prohibition. The Prohibition Party called for the first approach whereas the Anti-Saloon League called for the latter approach.

There was almost no end to their ingenuity. They hid alcohol in their clothing, in caskets, in hidden compartments in their cars, and in almost every other conceivable place.

No, it not only failed but was counterproductive in that it created numerous other problems.

The Women's Christian Temperance Movement (WCT) was a group of women in the early 1900's attempting to make the consumption, sale, or making of alcohol illegal. It was founded by Carry Nation who was very anti-immigrant. At the time Irish were the number one immigrants in america bringing there drinking habits with them. Nation and her followers would walk into bars and saloons with an axe and completely destroy the whole place while reading verses from the bible. From 1900-1917, 1/2 of all US States prohibited alcohol. By 1920, 100% of all states adapted the 18th amendment making alcohol illegal. It would remain illegal until 1933 when it was made legal again by the 21st amendment.

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

I believe that you might be talking about an Evangelist who is a person who devoted there whole life to the beliefs of God and The Bible and believed that everything in the Bible was inspired by God therefore all of its stories in all their details were true. They rejected the theory of evolution and believed that every person should live there life for God. They did not believe in the consumption of alcohol because it seemed un-holy therefore they supported the prohibition of Alcohol. This is known as the fundamentalism, so you're answer could be a "Evangelist" or a "Fundamentalist".

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

Thou shalt not kill (ten commandments)

god has plans for everyone, all you have to do is accept them. It would be going against gods plan for you by committing such an act.

thou shalt not kill, that includes killing yourself, if you are already dead there can obviously be no repentance.

there are also verses saying your body is a temple of god and you need to treat it as such.

Because people loved to drink and when they said it was illegal people jumped and started doing the negative to the proplem. the actually drank more.

This was the first issue they became very involved in.
