Prohibition & New Jersey: 1919-1933 by Brian Armstrong
March 15, 2020 |
Hear Brian Armstrong lecture about how Prohibition came to be passed, the
problems with enforcement, and how it ultimately was repealed. The
unforeseen consequences of the “noble experiment” such as increasing the size
of government and the development of organized crime will also be
discussed. The repeal of Prohibition in 1933 was the only time in US
history when an amendment to the US Constitution (18th) was removed
by another amendment (21st).
