Prohibition between the wars By: Matt Dickerson, Lariza Vera, and Christopher Woll

The Origins of Prohibition Temperance movement due to damaged families. By 1916, 21 states had banned saloons. “dries” used statistics to persuade crowds. WWI increased the temperance movement. By enough states argued to make it the 18 th Amendment by the Volstead act (January 1920)

Why did prohibition start?

Enforcement Lasted from 1920 to Levels of consumptions fell to about 30%. Popular in the rural areas in the Mid-West, however Maryland never introduced prohibition. Isadore Einstein, and Moe Smith were two famous undercover police.

Supply and Demand Under financing made it impossible to enforce in cities. Underpaid officers for such large areas. Bootleggers became millionaires there were more speakeasies in American cities than saloons in Izzy Einstein statistics 2/3 of illegal alcohol came from Canada Captain McCoy was popular for using the sea

Corruption Corruption increased throughout the early 1920’s until Some Law Enforcements were involved with liquor trading. Some major Breweries stayed open through the prohibition era. Senior officers and judges were bribed and made corruption easy. Don Chaplin ordered his 200 agents: “Put your hands on the table, both of them. Every son of a bi*ch wearing a diamond is fired.

Chicago Thugs Organized gangsters estimated to make $2 billion out of illegal sales. George Ramus party gave ever man a gold cuff worth $25,000 and every women a car. Main gangs were Jewish, Polish, Irish, and Italian. Valentines day Massacre Gangsters used technology to boost their business.

Chicago continued...

When the Wall Street Crash occurred the United States needed a boost in the economy and legalized alcohol – This created jobs, raise tax revenue, and free up resources used to enforce prohibition.

Time Line states had banned saloons. January Volstead Act was passed Al Capone arrived in Chicago. 1926/1927- There were 130 murders with no one arrested Al Capone had destroyed the power of most other gangs St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Franklin D Roosevelt was elected president Prohibition was repealed.
