How did the eighteenth amendment outlawing alcohol both reflect and deepen the cultural divisions?

1 answer:

4 0

The eighteenth amendment outlawing alcohol impacted the alcohol consumption of the general public. Decrease in alcohol consumption happened in low income families. However, illegal production and distribution of alcohol gave rise to organized crime and because of this consumption also began to rise.

The most identifiable person who benefited in this amendment by defying it was Al Capone. He earned millions from the sale of illegal booze and in turn ventured out to other illegal businesses like prostitution, drugs, and gambling.

Dear Granddaughter, Josephine Ann Morris.

How lovely to see you, still so tiny, in the arms of your mother, Janet. You were a gift to our whole family. This letter, I want to write to you, because I have dreamed a lot with you, your mother and your brothers. For some reason, as much as I see myself with you in those dreams that I have dreamed many nights, I feel that I will not be here to see what may happen in the future.

The world has undergone many changes, and the purpose of this letter is to advise. I do not want to put fear in you, but I want to advise you what I would do in your place. Our country is growing a lot and gaining worldwide influence. Many other nations disagree with the policies and decisions that move from here. From what I have been dreaming and from what I have read in the newspapers, it is likely that nations will come into conflict. Be prepared emotionally for that. Women are increasingly mobilizing, through suffrage, to have more independence and autonomy. They will be able to vote for the decisions of our Country. Consider this as a gift, because in my time, I could not do it. In terms of quality, you're sure to live better than I do, because technologies are advancing. The media will also be better developed. You can view information through a cube-shaped device. You will be able to know other countries, because you will have more options to travel, in different means of transport.

With the rise of women, who would gain voice and vote, there will be repression, machismo and other things that could affect you. Resist those things. I advise you to stand out from all your future co-workers by doing your work with excellence, so that you can be recognized. Save money, save money, maybe you want to open a business for you. I dreamed that in 1929, there will be a major crisis across the country. Protect yourself from this. As for the prejudices for being a woman and having a good position, resist, with justice, with love.

With all the love in the world,

Your grandmother,

Joanne Ann Morris

What actions ended world war 1?

mash [69]

The answer to your question is,

Germany had surrendered, they didn't want to fight anymore nor could they. All of the nations agreed to stop fighting while the terms of peace were noted. Formally, though, the actual reason why WWl ended was due to Germany and the allied nations signing the Treaty of Versailles.
