1 - Late Projects

2 - Prohibition - pg. 88

Consider the following questions:

1 - What conditions would be needed to make prohibition popular enough to become law?

2 - What is "bootlegging"? How did American Prohibition laws lead to bootlegging by

Canadians?

3 - Was the temperance movement doomed to fail from the start?

3 - Bootlegging and the Mob

Today’s Learning Goal:

I will be able to explain how the temperance movement gained popularity in the early 1920s and why it was doomed to fail.
