Prohibition

many of the people that supported prohibition in the 1920s were housewives. They felt that alcohol was the root of all problems. This is because many of their husbands would get their paycheck on friday and spend it all on alcohol that day, leaving the family with no money to buy food with. These women were part of a movement known as "temperance." although there were many reasons people supported prohibition, this was the main one.

Many had very active temperance movements, some that continue to this day.

Others rejected such ideas and benefited from the results of temperance movements in Canada and the United States.

Exporting alcohol into areas of prohibition was very profitable and helped show that many Canadians saw themselves as distinct from the Americans. It fueled the Us and Them feelings that have always been part of many Canadian cultures.

Prohibition fueled Canadian alcohol industry and in particular hard liquor. Before the successes of the temperance movements Canadians where not as interested in Whiskey and other high alcohol spirits. Beer and Wine are still number one but thanks to prohibition Whiskey and Rum remain popular.

Critics of prohibition cited several failures, including the significant increase in organized crime and illegal alcohol trade, which led to a rise in violence and corruption. Furthermore, they argued that prohibition did not effectively reduce alcohol consumption, as people continued to find ways to obtain alcohol through illicit means. Additionally, critics highlighted the negative economic impact of prohibition, as the government lost tax revenue from alcohol sales and many legal jobs in the alcohol industry were lost.

Prohibition gained support before it was established but lost support throughout the 1920's and early 1930's. And opposition to it accelerated rapidly after the mid-1920's as the problems it created multiplied and became increasingly serious.

The Prohibition Party was adopted in Kansas in 1881. It was established as part of a broader movement to prohibit the sale and consumption of alcohol. The party aimed to promote temperance and had a significant influence on Kansas politics, especially during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The government prohibited the drinking and the selling of alcohol because he saw that the moral values are disappearing. However, this did not help, it made the situation worse.

History in the United States of America during the early 1920s would change forever. On the early morning of January 16, 1919 America went dry. President Woodrow Wilson and many others saw drinking becoming a serious problem. People wanted prohibition because employers were going to work still drunk and working with a hangover. At home, life was more difficult for families. Husbands were becoming abusive to their wife and children's. Also crime started to occur more frequently, most of America's most serious problems centered on alcohol. The prohibition was enforced by states voting themselves dry.

America had changed prohibition because people in our own government were violating the very own laws they made.
