The 1920s weren’t just gin joints and jazz. Anti-immigrant racism was all the
rage.
By Lisa McGirr
Ms. McGirr is a professor of history at Harvard and the author of “The War on Alcohol:
Prohibition and the Rise of the American State.”
Jan. 16, 2019
On Jan. 16, 1919, Nebraska became the 36th state to ratify the 18th Amendment
to the Constitution, which banned the manufacture, sale, import or
transportation of intoxicating liquors. The Prohibition era had begun.
Prohibition looms large in the national imagination even today as the era of
gangsters and gin joints. Less often do we reflect on what motivated the country
to adopt it and maintain it for 14 years. While the country faced a real problem of
excessive drinking, powerful anti-immigrant hostility is what drove this
monumental act of constitutional overreach.
Today, as we find ourselves in the midst of another fight over immigration, it is
worth revisiting the role that nativism played in driving, and later enforcing,
Prohibition. The consequences of that battle reverberated for decades to come. It
sparked a vast expansion of the repressive capacities of the federal government
and a rise of right-wing extremism, led by a revived Ku Klux Klan. It also forged
a new political coalition that would bring ethnic working-class voters into the
Democratic Party, where they would remain for much of the century.
How Prohibition Fueled the Klan
https://www.nytimes.com/
Temperance and Prohibition had been popular causes throughout the 19th
century, but supporters didn’t reach a critical mass until the era of mass
immigration at the turn of the century. With more than a million men and women
coming to the United States in 1907 alone, anti-liquor crusaders railed against a
“foreign invasion of undeveloped races.” The boisterous drinking culture of the
ubiquitous working-class saloon, dominated by immigrant men, seemed to make
manifest the dangers mass immigration posed to a white native Protestant
American way of life.
During World War I, the A ...
CHAPTER 8 HISTORY OF DRUG USE AND DRUG LEGISLATIONBritish naval as.docxmccormicknadine86
CHAPTER 8 HISTORY OF DRUG USE AND DRUG LEGISLATION
British naval assault on a Chinese port during the first Opium War (1839–1842)After reading this chapter, you will:
· ▸ Know the popular prejudices against racial and ethnic groups that determined drug policy
· ▸ Know the history of Prohibition
· ▸ Understand why policy toward opiates that did not change until 1914
· ▸ Know why cocaine never proved as popular as opiates until the 1960s
· ▸ Recognize how marijuana emerged as a symbol of nonconformity and eventually a political issue
· ▸ Know the history of the use of amphetamines
· ▸ Know the history of the use of barbiturates and tranquilizers
· ▸ Know the history of the use of hallucinogen
· ▸ Understand why drugs became a major political issue from the 1960s through the 1980s
· ▸ Appreciate why drugs as a political issue became dormantThe Drug War as Eugenics
Erik Roskes (2012), a forensic psychiatrist, refers to the “War on Drugs” as eugenics: the practice of ridding the human species of unfit biological stock, largely through sterilization. This was a popular practice in the United States well into the twentieth century. In North Carolina, for example, between 1929 and 1974 more than 7,600 persons were sterilized. Dr. Roskes refers to the drug war as eugenics without surgery: the mass incarceration for drug-related offenses of persons who disproportionately come from segments of society that suffer various, often multiple, deprivations: social deprivation, educational deprivation, nutritional deprivation, cultural deprivation, cognitive deprivation.
“ “There was little interest [at the end of the 19th century] in suppressing a business that was so profitable for opium merchants, shippers, bankers, insurance agencies and governments. Many national economies were as dependent on opium as the addicts themselves. Indeed, what Karl Marx described as ‘the free trade in poison' was such an important source of revenue for Great Powers that they fought for control of opium markets.”
—Antonio Maria Costa (2009, 3)
The history of drug use and attempts at its control provides insight into the complexity of more contemporary control, enforcement, and social issues on this subject. As with many attempts at historical analyses, we are handicapped by the lack of adequate data on a number of items, particularly the extent of drug use at earlier periods in our history and of alcohol use during Prohibition. Providing an empirically based analysis of changing policies with respect to drugs is difficult without the ability to measure the effect of these changes, and, in fact, we cannot provide such measurements.
Policy decisions, as we shall see in this chapter, have frequently been based on perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes with little empirical foundation. They have often reflected popular prejudices against a variety of racial and ethnic groups.1 Indeed, race, religion, and ethnicity have been closely identified with the reaction to drugs in the Unite ...

Suppose there are two risk averse individuals, Cate and Dirk. They both face an identical
independent risky prospect: each individual has a 50% chance of earning $100 and a 50%
chance of earning $10. Let u(x) = log x be the utility function.
(a) Find Dirk’s expected utility from this prospect.
(b) Suppose Cate and Dirk decide to pool their incomes. They pay their realized income
into the pool and they each get half of the total income of the pool. Find Dirk’s
expected utility under the pooling scheme. (Hint: Since the two prospects are identical
and independent, there are four possible outcomes).(c) Show that Dirk’s expected utility under the pooling scheme is greater than his expected
utility without the pooling scheme.

The United States is in the midst of a profound demographic transformation that will long outlast the current economic downturn. In 2011, the first of the baby boomers—Americans born between 1946 and 1964—turned 65 years old. There are 77 million baby boomers, comprising nearly one quarter of the total population, and their eventual retirement will have an enormous impact on the U.S. economy. This daunting fact is central to the January 2012 employment and labor force projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). As the BLS projects, the retirement of the baby boomers will slow labor force growth significantly over the coming decade. Yet, at the same time, demand will grow for new workers to take the place of those who retire from the labor force, as well as for both highly skilled and less-skilled healthcare workers to look after the growing ranks of elderly Americans.

2 part task: APA Format
Part 1
The role of the nurse educator requires specialized knowledge and skills. One of the essential competencies necessary for the role is the ability to develop relevant curricula for the preparation of future nurses. It is therefore important that nurse educators comprehend and stay well-informed of trends and issues which may impact nursing education.
This task is intended to facilitate your ability to develop competency statements and related learning objectives; select relevant learning assessment and evaluation tools; create learning activities that promote critical thinking and reflective skills; and actively engage and support students with diverse learning needs. As an educator, you are also required to demonstrate effective analytical skills in the evaluation of methods used to determine the achievement of program outcomes. In addition, in this task you write an element of an exam. This will help you comprehend different item types and the process involved when you develop items for course exams. These learning activities assist in building an educational foundation between the classroom setting and the clinical setting.
Scenario:
The nursing faculty at Hartford University have developed a new BSN curriculum and begun the work of designing and developing individual courses. You are a full-time, tenure-track faculty member assigned to develop courses in level one—the first year of the nursing program. Students at this level have completed all prerequisites for the BSN program.
You are asked to develop the Nursing Fundamentals course, the first clinical course students engage in once admitted to the BSN nursing program. According to the results of the nursing program entrance exam, the students who will be taking the Nursing Fundamentals course were found to have an equal distribution of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The Nursing Fundamentals course will introduce students to nursing care across the lifespan. It will also provide students with the tools necessary to perform basic nursing care in clinical settings and will provide the framework for future clinical courses (e.g., medical/surgical, pediatric, obstetrics/gynecology, mental health, and community nursing specialties).
Requirements:
A. Develop
four
competency statements specific to the Nursing Fundamentals course that are based on contemporary professional nursing standards and guidelines.
1. Explain how
each
of the
four
competencies you developed aligns with
one
of the following national nursing standards and guidelines:

independent risky prospect: each individual has a 50% chance of earning $100 and a 50%
chance of earning $10. Let u(x) = log x be the utility function.
(a) Find Dirk’s expected utility from this prospect.
(b) Suppose Cate and Dirk decide to pool their incomes. They pay their realized income
into the pool and they each get half of the total income of the pool. Find Dirk’s
expected utility under the pooling scheme. (Hint: Since the two prospects are identical
and independent, there are four possible outcomes).(c) Show that Dirk’s expected utility under the pooling scheme is greater than his expected
utility without the pooling scheme.
(d) Compare the variance of the risky prospect with the pooling scheme and without the
pooling scheme.

The United States is in the midst of a profound demographic transformation that will long outlast the current economic downturn. In 2011, the first of the baby boomers—Americans born between 1946 and 1964—turned 65 years old. There are 77 million baby boomers, comprising nearly one quarter of the total population, and their eventual retirement will have an enormous impact on the U.S. economy. This daunting fact is central to the January 2012 employment and labor force projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). As the BLS projects, the retirement of the baby boomers will slow labor force growth significantly over the coming decade. Yet, at the same time, demand will grow for new workers to take the place of those who retire from the labor force, as well as for both highly skilled and less-skilled healthcare workers to look after the growing ranks of elderly Americans.

2 part task: APA Format
Part 1
The role of the nurse educator requires specialized knowledge and skills. One of the essential competencies necessary for the role is the ability to develop relevant curricula for the preparation of future nurses. It is therefore important that nurse educators comprehend and stay well-informed of trends and issues which may impact nursing education.
This task is intended to facilitate your ability to develop competency statements and related learning objectives; select relevant learning assessment and evaluation tools; create learning activities that promote critical thinking and reflective skills; and actively engage and support students with diverse learning needs. As an educator, you are also required to demonstrate effective analytical skills in the evaluation of methods used to determine the achievement of program outcomes. In addition, in this task you write an element of an exam. This will help you comprehend different item types and the process involved when you develop items for course exams. These learning activities assist in building an educational foundation between the classroom setting and the clinical setting.
Scenario:
The nursing faculty at Hartford University have developed a new BSN curriculum and begun the work of designing and developing individual courses. You are a full-time, tenure-track faculty member assigned to develop courses in level one—the first year of the nursing program. Students at this level have completed all prerequisites for the BSN program.
You are asked to develop the Nursing Fundamentals course, the first clinical course students engage in once admitted to the BSN nursing program. According to the results of the nursing program entrance exam, the students who will be taking the Nursing Fundamentals course were found to have an equal distribution of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The Nursing Fundamentals course will introduce students to nursing care across the lifespan. It will also provide students with the tools necessary to perform basic nursing care in clinical settings and will provide the framework for future clinical courses (e.g., medical/surgical, pediatric, obstetrics/gynecology, mental health, and community nursing specialties).
Requirements:
A. Develop
four
competency statements specific to the Nursing Fundamentals course that are based on contemporary professional nursing standards and guidelines.
1. Explain how
each
of the
four
competencies you developed aligns with

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The 1920s weren’t just gin joints and jazz. Anti-immigrant
racism was all the
rage.
By Lisa McGirr
Ms. McGirr is a professor of history at Harvard and the author
of “The War on Alcohol:
Prohibition and the Rise of the American State.”
2. Jan. 16, 2019
On Jan. 16, 1919, Nebraska became the 36th state to ratify the
18th Amendment
to the Constitution, which banned the manufacture, sale, import
or
transportation of intoxicating liquors. The Prohibition era had
begun.
Prohibition looms large in the national imagination even today
as the era of
gangsters and gin joints. Less often do we reflect on what
motivated the country
to adopt it and maintain it for 14 years. While the country faced
a real problem of
excessive drinking, powerful anti-immigrant hostility is what
drove this
monumental act of constitutional overreach.
Today, as we find ourselves in the midst of another fight over
immigration, it is
worth revisiting the role that nativism played in driving, and
later enforcing,
Prohibition. The consequences of that battle reverberated for
decades to come. It
sparked a vast expansion of the repressive capacities of the
3. federal government
and a rise of right-wing extremism, led by a revived Ku Klux
Klan. It also forged
a new political coalition that would bring ethnic working-class
voters into the
Democratic Party, where they would remain for much of the
century.
How Prohibition Fueled the Klan
https://www.nytimes.com/
Temperance and Prohibition had been popular causes
throughout the 19th
century, but supporters didn’t reach a critical mass until the era
of mass
immigration at the turn of the century. With more than a million
men and women
coming to the United States in 1907 alone, anti-liquor crusaders
railed against a
“foreign invasion of undeveloped races.” The boisterous
drinking culture of the
ubiquitous working-class saloon, dominated by immigrant men,
seemed to make
manifest the dangers mass immigration posed to a white native
Protestant
4. American way of life.
During World War I, the Anti-Saloon League, the self-declared
Protestant
Church in action, fanned nativist flames: With the large brewing
companies in
the hands of German immigrants, the league declared the
abolition of “the un-
American,” “home wrecking, treasonable liquor traffic” the
most patriotic act.
Congress concurred, sending the 18th Amendment to the states
on Dec. 22, 1917.
Ratification sped through the states in record time, stunning its
ecstatic
supporters: “The rain of tears is over. … Hell will be forever for
rent,” the
flamboyant evangelical preacher Billy Sunday proclaimed. The
Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, the powerful grass-roots female
reform
organization at the core of the anti-liquor crusade, raised an
American flag at its
campaign headquarters in Evanston, Ill. Church bells rang at
many Protestant
5. churches in celebration of “Uncle Sam’s knockout blow … that
set John
Barleycorn and all his cohorts to the mat.”
The utopian hopes of Billy Sunday and his ilk that the 18th
Amendment would
turn “our prisons into factories” quickly evaporated. The vast
and powerful
federal agencies in charge of policing Prohibition as of January,
1920, along with
state and local enforcement, overcrowded court dockets,
changed legal doctrine
and flooded prisons, but they did little to meet Prohibitionists’
almost impossible
ambitions.
Newly hired and poorly trained Prohibition agents, along with
local and state
police, targeted violators at the margins, but they lacked the
capacity, and at
times the will, to go after powerful crime kingpins. Chicago’s
Al Capone, Ohio’s
George Remus, New York’s Arnold Rothstein and Seattle’s Roy
Olmstead
6. amassed large fortunes in the profitable illicit drink trade,
oiling their violent
supply rings with payoffs to judges, senators and officers on the
beat.
At the same time, a small group of affluent, urban, pace-setting
adventurers
rebelled against the law in subterranean night-life spaces,
sparking innovative
dance styles and providing new audiences for the experimental
sounds of jazz.
Prohibition’s cultural earthquake, centered in the mixed-sex and
mix-raced
night-life venues in cities like New York and Chicago,
reverberated in smaller
towns and cities through Hollywood movie plots, tabloid
newspapers and radio.
It was, according to one New York opponent, a cultural “civil
war.” In 1922,
President Warren Harding declared the lack of observance a
national scandal.
The men and women who had worked so hard for the law’s
passage feared a
vicious conspiracy to discredit and overthrow Prohibition.
Anxieties over
7. immigration, urbanization and the erosion of the cultural
dominance of Anglo-
Saxon Protestantism swelled even further in face of a new spirit
of self-
expression.
With Prohibition newly enshrined in the Constitution, anti-
liquor crusaders
demanded better, stricter enforcement and harsh punishment for
violators. Roy
Haynes, the federal Prohibition commissioner, blasted the “dry
rot” and evil
influences that had to be “torn out” by citizens militant in the
law’s defense. A
volunteer enforcement army coalesced. The Anti-Saloon League
and the
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union forged two of its
phalanxes, adopting an
increasingly shrill tone toward immigrants. Compliance among
this “great
problem” class required coercion, with “officers of the law”
acting as
“schoolmasters.” The W.C.T.U. in 1923 called for the
deportation of noncitizens
convicted of Prohibition violations. Despite evidence that
8. foreigners were less
likely than native-born Americans to violate the law, anti-liquor
crusaders
marshaled alternative facts: “Seventy-five percent of liquor law
violators are
foreigners,” the Indiana W.C.T.U falsely claimed.
Anti-liquor crusaders found a powerful new ally in the so-called
second Ku Klux Klan.
As enforcement failures multiplied, anti-liquor crusaders found
a powerful new
ally in the so-called second Ku Klux Klan. Established in 1915
by William
Simmons in Atlanta, the organization snowballed after 1920 in
the Midwest and
West. Its savvy promoters, Elizabeth Tyler and Edward Young
Clarke, former
fund-raisers for the Anti-Saloon League, drew in a bumper crop
of new recruits
with their anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant, white supremacist
message.
Other forms of postwar social conflict aided the growth of the
Klan, but nothing
9. did more than the 18th Amendment to turn it into a dynamic
social movement.
The Klan and its female affiliate, the Women of the Ku Klux
Klan, recruited
heavily from the nation’s white Protestant Prohibition
organizations, promising
militant action to ensure the law’s enforcement. Not
surprisingly, the Klan
targeted the drinking of those they identified as enemies of “100
percent
Americanism” — Catholics, foreigners and African-Americans
— and often
gained a foothold in white Protestant evangelical communities
with its promise
to put bootleggers and moonshiners out of business. If officers
of the law could
not or would not do their duty, the Klan vowed to step in, often
with the support
of the local government.
The actions of the citizen Prohibition army in Williamson
County, Ill., a
hardscrabble rural mining region 300 miles south of Chicago,
provides a striking
example. The head of the Williamson County board of
10. supervisors and a local
Klan leader, Sam Stearns, and a Methodist pastor and Klan ally
named Philip
Glotfelty, along with members of the local Ministerial
Association, had high
hopes that Prohibition would usher in a new moral tenor in their
community.
Before Prohibition, the region’s largely native white Protestant
miners might
stop for a whiskey after a hard day’s work in the ramshackle
bars that dotted the
county, ignoring their pastors’ warnings against the “devil’s
drink.” In
Prohibition’s wake, drinking continued in new roadhouses and
moonshine joints.
Two rival criminal rings, the Birger and Shelton gangs, set up
shop to supply the
thriving black-market trade.
Glotfelty and Stearns, backed by the county’s leading
businessmen and
Protestant pastors, mounted a law and order crusade. They held
public meetings
11. to raise the alarm. Italian and French immigrants, largely
Catholic, had been
drawn to Williamson County by opportunities to work in the
coal industry, and
Glotfelty blamed the men “imported from across the sea” for
bootlegging. He
confidently predicted that all members of the local Catholic
church would be in
jail before “the foundations of the new church were built.”
Glotfelty’s words resonated among the region’s native white
Protestant miners,
whose tenuous hold on economic security was increasingly
eroding. A strike to
protest wage cuts had ended in open class warfare in 1922.
Williamson County’s
moral leaders focused native Protestant miners’ grievances on
another threat:
the immigrants who competed for mining jobs. The local Klan
ranks swelled with
the promise to “clean up” the community.
Representing the Klan, Stearns traveled to Washington to plead
for support for
its local anti-liquor crusade. Commissioner Haynes agreed to
supply federal
12. agents to lead the raids if Stearns could provide the foot
soldiers. On Dec. 22,
1923, the first raid, in the town of Herrin, got underway. Some
500 citizen
volunteers deputized by Haynes’s agents stormed scores of
roadhouses and
homes. A second raid two weeks later overwhelmingly targeted
Italian
immigrants, who protested rough treatment, theft and planted
evidence.
The Italian vice-consul in Springfield, Ill., denounced the
“terrorization of foreign
residents of Herrin” to the State Department. National Guard
troops were called
in to stem the chaos and violence. Eventually, the federal
government ended its
authorization for the volunteer army, refusing “reinforcements
from the Ku Klux
Klan or any other volunteer organization.”
But the citizen army was not easily deterred. Stearns gleefully
declared, “We’ve
got the bootleggers on the run now, but we want to give them
13. their hats, so they
can keep on running.” Over the following months several more
raids, each
increasingly reckless, targeted Williamson County’s
immigrants. On Feb. 2, 1924,
S. Glenn Young, a former Prohibition agent who had been
recruited by the Klan,
led more than 1,000 men in raids against roadhouses and homes,
setting fire to
some of them. This time the county’s French immigrant
community joined the
Italian immigrants pleading for help from their consul. With
Klan and anti-Klan
forces battling in the streets, the Illinois governor declared
martial law.
The orgy of violence resulted in 14 deaths, but it also eroded
Klan support among
the public. Klan candidates had swept into office in Herrin in
1924, but one year
later they lost power. The newly elected mayor promised to bar
Klan supporters
from parading in masks. But before the collapse of its power,
the local Klan had
partially accomplished its goals: More than 50 roadhouses and
14. illicit drink
spaces had been shut, and many of Williamson County’s
immigrants heeded the
Klan’s call to leave the county. Of the 11,000 foreign born and
their children in
1920 in Williamson County, only 8,174 remained a decade later.
The mobilization of Prohibition’s citizen’s enforcement army in
Williamson
County was replicated on smaller scales in many towns and
cities. From Orange
County, Calif., to Birmingham, Ala., the Klan buttressed local
police in anti-liquor
raids, targeting groups they perceived as enemies of “100
percent Americanism.”
That campaign of terror was one of the law’s most devastating
consequences.
But immigrants and their children also despised the
criminalization of their
cultural rituals and leisure habits, the violence that illegal
supply rings brought
to their neighborhoods and the selective enforcement that
disproportionally
15. targeted poor violators. One Chicago immigrant leader summed
up the
passionate sentiments of many, blasting Prohibition as the
“most vicious and
tyrannical piece of legislation enacted anywhere in the world.”
Al Smith, running for president in 1928, attracted large numbers
of urban, white ethnic voters to the Democratic Party for the
first
time with his anti-Prohibition message.
The battles over Prohibition erupted in the 1928 presidential
election. The Irish
Catholic governor of New York, Al Smith, ran for president on
the Democratic
ticket opposing the law and championing tolerance. Smith
attracted large
numbers of urban, white ethnic voters to the party for the first
time, along with a
small segment of African-Americans. Though Herbert Hoover
won handily, the
ethnic, urban, industrial working class Smith brought to the
party stayed there,
forging an important part of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal
coalition. One of
Roosevelt’s first acts in office was to sign the beer bill, re-
legalizing the industry
16. in March of 1933, pending the repeal of national Prohibition.
Roosevelt adopted creative solutions to the Great Depression,
building on the
new federal authority and resources won during the war on
alcohol. Prohibition,
as elite conservative critics had rightly feared, cracked the door
open toward
other forms of regulation. Not only did Prohibition forge the
edifice of the federal
penal state, but growing numbers of Americans looked to the
federal
government for solutions to social and economic problems.
One Roosevelt supporter summed up this logic when he called
for a four-day
week at a six-day wage when he wrote to the presidential
candidate: “the
Eighteenth Amendment made it possible for the government to
take over
enforcement of Prohibition. Surely, capable leaders could soon
get another
amendment to the Constitution passed that would empower
Congress to shorten
17. the work day for all labor throughout the nation.”
Prohibition had lasted less than 15 years, but its legacies
outlasted its repeal and
achieved almost the opposite intended by its most ardent
supporters. Hoping to
make liquor less desirable by shutting saloons, the anti-liquor
crusaders ushered
in the mixed-sex, alcohol-laced, night-life leisure Americans
have known ever
since. The ban did not end crime and corruption, as the
crusaders claimed it
would, but drove it to higher levels, leading to a new and
permanent role for the
federal government in crime control.
And Prohibition’s titanic overreach led to the enfranchisement
of new immigrant
groups under the banner flag of Prohibition opposition. The
era’s heightened
nativism had not cowed Americans immigrants, their children or
their allies.
Instead they reached out for a fuller place in national political
life to forge a more
pluralist, tolerant, equitable country. The tyranny of Billy
18. Sunday and his ilk
proved short-lived.

An earlier version of this article misstated the name of a
prominent gangster in
New York during Prohibition. It was Arnold Rothstein, not
Arthur Rothstein. It
also misstated the name of a group that advocated for
Prohibition. It was the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, not the Women's
Christian Temperance
Union.
