Answer: Sabin at first supported Prohibition. As she explained later, “I felt I should approve of it because it would help my two sons. The word-pictures of the agitators carried me away. I thought a world without liquor would be a beautiful world.”2

Prohibition had promised a society with lower crime and violence, better health, higher employment and greater prosperity. It had promised improved public morality, the protection of youth, and many other benefits.

The dream of Prohibition quickly turned into the nightmare of its reality. Within a week after the 18th Amendment went into effect, small portable stills were for sale throughout the country.3 The mayor of New York City sent instructions on winemaking to his constituents.4 California grape growers increased their acreage about 700% during the first five years of Prohibition. There was a booming nation-wide demand for grapes. Not to eat, but to make wine at home.5 A member of the President’s cabinet operated an illegal still. Bootleggers operated in the halls of Congress.

to what extent did the British honor the treaty of 1783 which stated they recognized the United States and its new boundaries? W
Anvisha [2.4K]

The British removed their influence and recognized the US as a sovereign nation however they did not remove all of their troops from US lands.

Though the Treaty of Paris 1783 ended the Revolutionary War and Great Britain officially recognized the sovereignty and the independence of the United States. However, they did not remove troops from the US in particular along the western frontier and along the border with Canada. The continued presence of British troops was insulting enough but then the British began attacking US shipping and taking people off the boats to serve in the British army against the French in a system called impressment. These violations of US independence led to the war of 1812 which is considered the "2nd war of independence".
