What started off as a noble movement to make men better men and to eliminate a societal toxin, turned into a decade of insanity, crime, and abject poverty for many.We all know about Prohibition from the textbooks, but did you know that the movement started since before the Civil War? Did you know that the movement started because women didn't think men were bad, but alcohol turned them into something else in most cases? Kara takes us down the origins of what would become one of the most famous constitutional amendments in modern history. Alcohol is one of the most influential contributors to the development of this nation, but simultaneously, a major detractor. For more details and Kara's extensive show notes, check out the website. And in this episode, the Great Molasses Flood Episode is mention that is closely tied to this episode. Hey before you go!
