1.) What was Prohibition?
Prohibition was the ban of alchohal in the U.S.
2.) What groups were responsible for the idea of prohibition?
Reformers, the Church affiliated Anti-Saloon League, the rural south and west.
3.) What were there reasons?
Reformers believed drinking led to increased crime, family abuse, accidents on the job, and other social issues. The church told the people that it was sinful to drink.
4.) How did people get illiegal alchohal?
People got alchohal illiegally by "Bootleggers". They would smuggle alchohal and sell it off. Some trucks would be loaded with alchohal and illiegal stills.
5.) In your opinion, was prohibition a good or bad idea? Why?
I believe prohibition was a bad thing, because the people who are always drinking and people who love to drink, have their privelage to consume alchohal taken away from them. After prohibition, crime grew instead of decreasing. Its like giving candy to a baby, and then taking it away.
