Discussion
• 1. What happened at the trial• 2. What was the role of the ACLU?• 3. Why do you think this clash of cultures
manifested itself in this particular way and at that time and place?
• 4. What court cases in US history would also show the same clash
later? 5. What are the modern day “Scopes Trials?”

What are some items CHS has tried to ban?
How effective were they?
What other problems might banning something lead to?

If you were a teacher or administrator, how would you solve
the problems of drug and alcohol abuse at Conestoga?
Is this a problem the school can solve?

Prohibition
• Why Prohibition?
• Origins – 1800s
• WCTU
• Anti-saloon League
![Page 15: 1920s Clash of Cultures](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568134af550346895d9bc580/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Roots of Prohibition
• By 1830, the average American over 15 years old consumed nearly seven gallons of pure alcohol a year – three times as much as we drink today – and alcohol abuse (primarily by men) was wreaking havoc on the lives of many, particularly in an age when women had few legal rights and were utterly dependent on their husbands for sustenance and support.
![Page 16: 1920s Clash of Cultures](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568134af550346895d9bc580/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• The country's first serious anti-alcohol movement grew out of a fervor for reform that swept the nation in the 1830s and 1840s. Many abolitionists fighting to rid the country of slavery came to see drink as an equally great evil to be eradicated – if America were ever to be fully cleansed of sin. The temperance movement, rooted in America's Protestant churches, first urged moderation, then encouraged drinkers to help each other to resist temptation, and ultimately demanded that local, state, and national governments prohibit alcohol outright.

Who said this and when?
"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's
appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which
our government was founded."

• At 12:01 A.M. on January 17, 1920, the amendment went into effect and Prohibitionists rejoiced that at long last, America had become officially, and (they hoped) irrevocably, dry. But just a few minutes later, six masked bandits with pistols emptied two freight cars full of whiskey from a rail yard in Chicago, another gang stole four casks of grain alcohol from a government bonded warehouse, and still another hijacked a truck carrying whiskey.
• Americans were about to discover that making Prohibition the law of the land had been one thing; enforcing it would be another

Izzy and Moe
United States federal police officers, agents of the U.S. Prohibition Unit, who achieved the most successful number of arrests and convictions during the first years of the alcohol prohibition era (1920–1925). They were known nationally for successfully shutting down illegal speakeasies and for using disguises in their work.
• They made 4,932 arrests, of which 95% (around 4,680) gained convictions.
![Page 37: 1920s Clash of Cultures](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/568134af550346895d9bc580/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• As a result of their work, thousands of bartenders, bootleggers and speakeasy owners were sentenced to jail.1 They used disguises to make their way into illegal bars, appearing as "streetcar conductor, gravedigger, fisherman, iceman, opera singer" and as the state of Kentucky delegates to the Democratic National Convention of 1924 held in New York, where they found only soda being served. They once went to a bar and identified themselves as Prohibition agents. The bouncer, thinking they were joking, simply laughed and let them in, where they proceeded to arrest him and everyone inside
