Prohibition
Nation of DrunkardsSince the pilgrims loaded the hold of the Mayflower with beer, alcohol and its attendant rituals have been at least as American as apple pie. However, as a wave of ideological fervour sweeps the country, many begin to see alcohol as a scourge and an impediment to a Protestant utopia of clean and righteous living, eventually outlawing it in the 18th Amendment to the Constitution.
