Prohibition Part Two
When the Eighteenth Amendment took effect in 1920, its supporters believed America was entering a cleaner, healthier age. Instead, the country got speakeasies, bootleggers, crowded courtrooms, and criminal empires that grew rich on illegal liquor.
This second part of our quiz looks more closely at how the "noble experiment" actually worked, and how it came apart. You will be asked about the political factions that fought over alcohol, the agencies charged with enforcing the ban, the loopholes that let drugstores keep certain drinks flowing, and the colorful figures on both sides of the law.
The quiz follows the story all the way through repeal and into the states that kept their own bans long after the rest of the country had raised a glass.
How much do you know about America's thirteen-year ban on alcohol? Take Part Two of our Prohibition quiz to find out.
Good luck. See how well you know prohibition part two.
