Prohibition and Social Change: Then And Now

Abstract: 10 pages in length. Prohibition was instrumental in creating a significant amount of social change during and after its existence; depending upon one's opinion, those changes have been construed as both good and bad. Initially, with the act of drinking being illegal, it forced people into the underground and made them imbibe with fear always looming over their heads. After Prohibition was repealed, there came from its absence a renewed strength and vigor that engulfed those who opposed it law in the first place. The writer discusses who the impact Prohibition had upon social change was both anticipated and monumental. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
