<u>The wets attacked the Prohibition. </u>

During the 1920s decade there was a major opposition to the Prohibition, which had banned the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages, as it was really difficult to enforce and because it had triggered the emergence of a black market controlled by criminal organizations.

These were the main arguments used by the anti-prohibitionists, also known as Wets, to defend their viewpoint and stand against this regulation.

suppose that you were a participant in the Boston Tea Party. Write a diary entry describing the event.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

It is estimated that hundreds took part in the Boston Tea Party. For fear of punishment, many participants of the Boston Tea Party remained anonymous for many years after the event. To date it is known that 116 people are documented to have participated. Not all of the participants of the Boston Tea Party are known; many carried the secret of their participation to their graves. The participants were made up of males from all walks of colonial society. Many were from Boston or the surrounding area, but some participants are documented to have come from as far away as Worcester in central Massachusetts and Maine. The vast majority was of English descent, but men of Irish, Scottish, French, Portuguese, and African ancestry were documented to have also participated. The participants were of all ages, but the majority of the documented participants was under the age of forty. Sixteen participants were teenagers, and only nine men were above the age of forty. Many of the Boston Tea Party participants fled Boston immediately after the destruction of the tea to avoid arrest. Thousands witnessed the event, and the implication and impact of this action were enormous ultimately leading to the start of the American Revolution.
