    Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were the frontrunners in the 1912 election. This election “changed the country, demonstrating a victory for progressive reforms as both Progressive candidates (Wilson as a Progressive Democratic governor of New Jersey and Roosevelt the head of the new Progressive Party) accounted for 75 percent of all votes” (Bowles, 2011). Although both men believed in Progressive philosophies, they were complete opposites in their political views. Roosevelt was considered the “Warrior” and advocated for a New Nationalism. Wilson, on the other hand, was…

    “Happy days are here again!” was the main slogan for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s campaign to end Prohibition in 1932 (Suddath, n.d.). After a long a dry period without consumption or the selling of alcohol in the United States, a presidential nominee was promising to end it all together with passing the 21st Amendment. During the election year, citizens were not pleased with Prohibition. The economy was crashing and people of the United States were wondering why the ban started. What most people did not realize is that one of the main reasons Prohibition began was because of the 16th Amendment.…

    The 18th amendment was ratified by congress on January 16, 1919 in which the selling and distribution of “intoxicating liquors” was banned. That was the start of what many called the dry decade in the United States. Norman H. Clark’s Deliver Us from Evil: An Interpretation of American Prohibition illustrates the struggles to make the dry decade possible and the consequences that followed it. The 235 page text describes how the Anti-Saloon League was determined to make prohibition possible and the struggles they had to overcome. As well as what directly followed once it was a reality.…

    Prohibition of the 1920's

    • 2296 Words
    • 10 Pages

    The 1920s was a time of major social change in the United States. The social changes during this period were reflected in the laws and regulations that were brought into play at this time. One of the most prominent examples of this was prohibition. The 18th Amendment to the Constitution, also known as the Volsted Act, which got its name from its sponsor, Representative Andrew Volsted of Minnesota, was created to eliminate the use of alcohol in the United States. In doing this, the proponents of prohibition hoped to end the social problems associated with alcohol, such as domestic abuse. "It was an attempt to promote Protestant middle-class culture as a means of imposing order on a disorderly world"(Dumenil, 1995). However, this goal of keeping peace by not consuming alcohol, was not reached during the years of prohibition, or the years following it. Alcohol consumed by Americans did decline, but it was not totally eliminated as hoped, and some of the social problems seemed to be even greater than before prohibition was in effect. Therefore, prohibition was not successful in its original purpose. To better understand the reasons behind the failure of prohibition, one must have to look at the years before, during, and after prohibition. This will give a better understanding to the implementation of the 18th Amendment as well as show the trends of Americans' alcohol use and the effects of alcohol on American society.…
