People drank more

Raged wives supported it

Only manufacture and sale was prohibited

Hard to enforce

Bad choice because they deal with taxes

Transportation was still allowed within USA

Impossible to completely ban

New amendment (21st) later repealed this

Religion didnt matter to New Americans

Old Americans were still firm believers

Anarchists Sacco and Venzetti were charged with murder

Red Scare started from Bolshevik Revolution

Immigration restrictions were made

New fads for women

Giggle water became popular

Tea time was replaced with cocktail hour

We banned Asians

Entirely

New consumer demands

This time period preceded the Great Depression

If you were foreign, unamerican actions caused suspicion and consequences

Ethnic groups were limited to 2% of count from 1890 census

Soldiers returned home
