Why didn't the federal local governments collect an excise tax on alcohol during prohibition

History
1 answer:
astraxan [27]3 years ago
4 0

For decades prior to the Prohibition (i.e., the legal ban of alcoholic drinks) made possible by the Eighteen Amendment, different Christian churches and organizations had been objecting to the consumption of alcohol since they considered it as the source of most debauchery and moral decadence. Their goal was made clear to the federal government: alcohol should be completely banned in order to clean society up. An excise tax on alcohol would have been rejected by all the moralistic groups advocating for prohibition as a mild and ineffective measure

When the Monroe Doctrine was written, the US had just formed and was not ready to fight the European powers. Monroe basically asked Europe to stay out of the Western Hemisphere because they were afraid of getting attacked.

The creator, James Monroe, was interested in keeping the United States out of a war it was not prepared for. Though it was out of fear, there was some thinking through; people voted on it, after all.

Note that by "afraid of getting attacked," I not only mean getting attacked through soldiers and cannons but also by taking over nearby areas and competing with the US for natural resources.

How did each group value Minnesota’s natural resources (like land and rivers): Dakota:
Whitepunk [10]

Each group valued Minnesota's natural resources such as land and rivers for a different purpose. The Dakota used natural resources as a source of livelihood.

European Americans, on the other hand, aimed to use Minnesota's natural resources as a way to establish properties on the fertile frontier.

Therefore, the Dakota Indian group had a deep connection to the land of Minnesota, using its resources to support its community through fishing and hunting.

European American settlers, on the other hand, were interested in transforming the land into a state with the implementation of trade and property to generate wealth.

The Dakota were then threatened and forced to cede their Minnesota lands by signing treaties in 1851.
