The Eighteenth Amendment was ratified in the hopes of eliminating alcohol from American life. In that respect, it failed. To the contrary, people intent on drinking found loopholes in the newly passed anti-liquor laws that allowed them to slake their thirst, and, when that didn’t work, they turned to illegal avenues to do so. An entire black market—comprising bootleggers, speakeasies, and distilling operations—emerged as a result of Prohibition, as did organized crime syndicates which coordinated the complex chain of operations involved in the manufacture and distribution of alcohol. Corruption in law enforcement became widespread as criminal organizations used bribery to keep officials in their pockets. Prohibition was detrimental to the economy as well, by eliminating jobs supplied by what had formerly been the fifth largest industry in America. By the end of the 1920s, Prohibition had lost its luster for many who had formerly been the policy’s most ardent supporters, and it was done away with by the Twenty-first

Why was the whiskey rebellion considered the first big test for the federal government?
Ilya [14]
The Whiskey Rebellion was considered the first big test for the federal government because it was a result of the first tax put on the American people after creating the US Constitution. This was implemented by the federal government (under President Washington) in order to pay for the war debt generated by the American Revolution. One of the reasons why this was a big test was because the reason America initially rebelled against the British was because of their tax policies. The Whiskey Rebellion provided a challenge to the government, as the way they responded to this revolt would set the tone for how the federal government would respond to a crisis situation.
