Prohibition
&
The 21st
Amendment
MAST HS
US HIS – Period 4
Ms. Richardson
19th Century Background for
Prohibition
• Second Great Awakening sought to
remake society in God's image.
• Thousands of Temperance
societies were formed.
• Successful in reducing
consumption and encouraging
stricter state regulation of alcohol.
Volstead Act (1919)
• Provided enforcement for the 18th
amendment (prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of alcohol).
–Alcohol police
• Vetoed [rejected] by Pres. Wilson
• Congress overrode the veto
Al Capone & Organized Crime
• By 1927 he was earning some $60
million a year from bootlegging.
• His gang was like a private army.
He had 700 men under his
control.
• He was responsible for over 500
murders.
• Gangsters started to take control
of many cities.
• They bribed the police, judges and
politicians.
• They controlled the speakeasies
and the distilleries, and ruthlessly
exterminated their rivals.
The 21st Amendment (1933) –
Reapled Prohibition
• Prohibition was
unenforceable.
• Many deaths occurred from
bootleg liquor.
• Political corruption increased.
• Smuggling grew out of
control.
• During the Depression the
potential jobs and tax
revenue from the legalization
of liquor increasingly
attractive to struggling
Americans.
Why did Prohibition fail?
• Otherwise respectable
people became
lawbreakers
• Enforcement was too
difficult
• People in Congress
were breaking the law
• Secret drinking places
(“speakeasies”)
• Money gained from liquor
tax could pay off the
national debt
• Gangsters and
bootleggers profited from
it
• It encouraged disrespect
for all laws
• Increase in the homicide
rate
