HW: Historical Causation of Prohibition by Jannathul Chowdhury https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul What were the short-term/long-term causes and short-term/long-term effects of Prohibition in the United States? In your opinion, why was this period significant? en-us 2021-03-05 08:08:14 UTC 2025-11-15 05:23:10 UTC hello@padlet.com Carlene- Homework carlenembarnes https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1294166537 Short-Term Causes: Anti-Saloon League petitioned to ban the sale of alcohol.
Long-Term Causes: The Temperance Movement was started earlier in the 19th century, which encouraged abstinence from drinking alcohol.

Short-Term Effects: The consumption of alcohol declined.
Long-Term Effects: The bootlegging industry and illegal speakeasies grew in popularity, so people were able to buy, sell, and consume alcohol, albeit illegally. 

This period was significant because it demonstrated that the reach of the government could only go so far into people's personal lives. It also sparked the debate about whether it is even useful for the government to outright ban certain products because it will still have a way of coming back illegally. This argument is often brought up today.]]> 2021-03-10 17:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1294166537 gema rivera - homework gemagrivera27 https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1295198159 short-term causes: the anti-saloon league petitioned state-by-state for an anti-alcohol legislation

This is a significant time period because we can learn a lot from this event.

Short Term Effect: Alcohol consumption went down.
 
Long Term Cause: Maine set precedent for the other states around 1851 to prohibit the sales of alcohol five decades before the 18th Amendment was passed.
Long Term Effect: The 21st Amendment is still on the Constitution.

This time period was significant because it compared the powers of the government to individual desires, whether people either listened to the law or continued to consume alcohol illegally.

Short term: Progressive Movement increased the power of the federal government, allowing them to pass the 18th Amendment.
Long term: Protestants began the Temperance Movement.

Short-term: Progressive movement help to pass the 18th amendment, which prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transport of alcohols. 
Long-term: Protestants started the temperance movement, and men were drinking irresponsibly. 

Effect:
Short term: Alcohol Consumption declined, and the legal alcohol industry lost revenue.
Long-term: There were higher crime rates, increasing smuggling and criminal found a new income source. 

This period is significant because, from prohibition's cause and effect, we can see how much authority the government had and why people are less/more inclined to do specific actions.

Short term- The Anti-Saloon League petitioned state by state for an anti-alcohol legislation. The progressive movement increased the power of the national government, allowing them to pass the 18th amendment which banned the manufacturing of intoxicating beverages. 

Long term- Protestants started the temperance movement. Many men drank irresponsibly. Americans wanted lower crime rates.

Effects:

Short term: Alcohol consumption declined and the legal alcohol industry lost revenue. 

Long term: Organized crime grew, increase in smuggling, and criminal found new sources of income.

This period was significant because it showed how by taking away something that millions love is not the answer to stopping bad actions and behavior. The government tried to limit crime, increase health, and solve social problems in America through the prohibition act however what ended up happening was the complete opposite. The lesson we learned is as long as there is a will there is a way.

Short-term -
1. Petitioning by the Anti Saloon League across the country for anti-alcohol legislation
2. The progressive movement increased the power of the National Government allowing them to pass the 18th amendment.
Long-term -
1. The start of the Temperance movement in the early 19th Century by Protestants.

Short-term -

1. Organized crime grew 
2. Smuggling became more popular
3. Criminals were able to generate more income because they could now illegally sell at high prices 
4. The 21st amendment remains on the constitution and is the only amendment that was amended.

I think that this time period is important because it shows how little power and control the National Government actually has over the people.  ]]> 2021-03-16 17:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1317147404 Homework-Maria Calderon calderonmaria881 https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1317842895 Cause

Effect: Alcohol consumption decreased.

Long Term:

Short Term: The passing of the 18th Amendment which prohibited alcohol.
Long Term: Maine prohibiting the sale of alcohol, encouraging other states to have the same sentiment towards alcohol.  

Effects:
Short Term: The legal alcohol industry lost money, people weren't buying alcohol legally. 
Long Term: There was an increase in smuggling, alcohol was smuggled to sell in speakeasies.

This period is significant because it demonstrated how sometimes prohibiting something, can make people more inclined to do what they have been prohibited from. It also was the first time an amendment had been repealed, certifying that amendments are not permanent and can be changed.]]> 2021-03-16 21:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1317961673 Mackenzie Eng - Homework https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1319338897 Short Term:

This period was significant because it set a precedent where an amendment could be repealed. ]]> 2021-03-17 07:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1319338897 Qianyi mao-hw https://padlet.com/jannathulchowdhury/7ks6m6knyiygxdul/wish/1320726219 This period is significant because it bears witness to the psychology of the people. When something is forbidden everyone wants to break through and try it, and it seems that drinking has become an example of how to push the bottom line and succeed. Because the bill was amended, it proved that people could change through their own efforts. The Constitution can also be amended.

Short term:
Cause: The 18th amendment was passed. People could not drink alcohol, sell alcohol, or continue to operate alcohol manufacturing plants.
Effect: Sales dropped and businessmen lost money.

Long term:
Effect: Crime increased and more people challenged authority to drink in secret and do illegal things.
