The Eighteenth Amendment
6/9/07

It took activists 75 years to get alcohol products banned from consumer use. Starting after the civil war groups made their way from state to state. A decade after the turn of the century much of the nation was "dry" and it was only a matter of time before government was swayed to put the final nail in the coffin. But it wasn't just one of these forces at work. It took money, politics, religion, big business, public opinion and a world war to make this happen.
