Prohibition Sources Question
Source A is a map of America taken form 'An American History Atlas' written in 1968 by Martin Gilbert. The map is useful in a way that it shows us where prohibition spread to in America. Its shows us 'territory in which the sale of alcohol was forbidden in 1845','states with local prohibition in 1845' and 'states entirely dry by1915'. However source A does not tell us why one state has prohibition and why others don't. You can see from the map that prohibition was around before 1915. It gradually grew and spread around America's states until finally most of America had prohibition laws.
Sources b and c are both sources based on the reason why prohibition was caused. But they differ. Source B was a textbook, written for use in British schools. ' Success in the 20th Century World Affairs' written by Jack Watson in 1981, which makes it a secondary source. He believes that if u were drinking alcohol then you were helping the Germans out in the war! Source C is a book written by Dr Theordore Eversole, an historian. The book was called 'The Culture of the USA in the 1920's.' He believed that prohbition was intend to help gain the protection of God and the Country! They differ because they have a different point of view about the situation, one is bout blaming the Germans for the alcohol and the other is about religion.
