It was prohibited to protect any individual and families from the violence and problems that alcohol may cause. It was banned for a good reason but took a wrong turn. There was now speakeasies, bootleggers, and rum runners. Speakeasies were places where there was illegal drinking involved, bootleggers were the one that made, distributed and sold the liquor illegally and rum runners were the ones smuggling in the alcohol to America. ]]> 2023-02-15 16:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/balvino1698/ku7orqo7hbslkzdw/wish/2483738989 balvino1698 https://padlet.com/balvino1698/ku7orqo7hbslkzdw/wish/2483740318 2023-02-15 16:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/balvino1698/ku7orqo7hbslkzdw/wish/2483740318 Advocates FOR and AGAINST balvino1698 https://padlet.com/balvino1698/ku7orqo7hbslkzdw/wish/2483757454 Advocates for prohibition included mostly women, Progressive reformers, industrialists and union organizers and anti-saloon league.
