why did prohibtion fail question B

source c shows us a picture of a man’s hands over a bag of “week wages”; also in the picture you can see the slogan saying “The poor man’s club”; the saloon is well named for this. The author used slogans, and over exaggerated the picture to influence the people for prohibition; it is also clear that the author feels family is very important, which is why they feel prohibition it a good thing. In the picture of source c it shows one mans family made poor from the saloons, he is practically comforting on the table with no food, because of his addiction to alcohol; causing these ‘slaves’ to spend. Source d shows two poor little children looking at the saloon; at the top of the picture it says “daddy’s in there” meaning their father is in their wasting possibly their school money; this trying to indicate not to do what they are doing and secure the money for other things e.g. clothing, food, and better shelters. This is why I think that to some extent the artists are against prohibition  created ‘speakeasies’ which were more expensive than normal saloons and would therefore cause people to have even less money. For people who could not afford to drink in speakeasies they turned to ‘home-made’ alcohol beverages; which often led to alcohol poisoning; and because it was home-made it would be stored in reach of school children. As I have said before the artist shows us he cares about family so realistically he would have been against this. In conclusion, I think that before prohibition was introduced, the artist would have thought of it as a good thing rather than bad.
