Prohibition - OverSimplified

"We want Napoleonic Wars." "Here , Prohibition." "So you're ignoring it ?" "Whoa whoa whoa , I'm looking into it." "So you are ignoring it" "WHOA WHOA WHOA"

"For all his murdering, the IRS finally got Capone on Tax Evasion." And that's why the Joker pays his taxes.

The way I always remembered the Amendment numbers for these- "You can't drink at 18, but you can at 21"

There's one story I like regarding Carrie Nation. A saloon owner in Oklahoma invited Carrie to speak at his business, but she had to promise not to break his bottles. She broke them anyway. After this rampage the saloon owner then made a sign, "All Nations Welcome Except Carrie." It became a slogan, and saloons started to buy them and hang them in their taverns as a reminder to their patrons to be thankful that Carrie isn't here and that they can enjoy their drinks in peace. lol

My paternal grandparents made beer and wine in their basement. Well, actually, my grandmother made the beer and wine from recipes passed down through her family. My grandfather owned a produce store so he could supply my grandmother whatever she needed. The local ice cream truck driver supplied the empty root beer bottles for my grandmother to bottle the beer and wine in. My dad recalled hearing “pop-pop-pop” noises at 1 AM from the beer bottles that were over-carbonated. It was a great business model. My grand father could write off whatever produce was used as spoilage, the ice cream man sold adult root beer as well as kids root beer so everything was listed as root beer. No doubt they supplied some local speakeasies. My grandmother even had a potato beer recipe.

the fact that capone was caught not from the murders or the alchohol selling but from the irs getting him for tax evasion goes to show the power of the irs

Everyone: We want the Napoleonic wars Oversimplified: I’ll look into that

Congress: No More Beers Guys Americans: Cheers to that

What I learned from this video. 1. Never give an order you know won't be obeyed. 2. When seeking to cure a disease, cure the disease, not its symptoms. 3. The first step to create a paradise, is to get people who would want to live in one.

prohibition didn't lose, it merely failed to win

Alcohol is banned Americans: "oh no!" Americans, holding beers: "anyway"

Al Capone: "I murder, steal, and bribe almost constantly" Government: "American Dream brother carry on" Al Capone: "oh yeah and I dont pay taxes" Government: "and I took that personally"

Snorky actually said he got scars from fighting in "The Lost Battalion" in World War One. He didn't even let the fact he never served stop him. What a guy.

My grandmother was a maid at alcapons house, supposedly he treated her very well and treated her to a few nights on the town, she even referred to him as uncle al whenever she spoke about him, I never met her but she seemed pretty cool

The moral is “Pay your damn taxes” Even the Joker doesn’t want to get Capone’d.

I did a project on Carrie Nation, she had husband probems because of alchohol and went out smashing saloons like crazy- she would even sell axes as a sort of tourist souvenir, where the money made would go to paying to get carrie out of jail whenever she was arrested XD

Fun fact: the government of New Zealand also attempted prohibition around the same time, and very nearly managed to make it happen. They passed a national referendum in 1919, and the people who voted for prohibition actually slightly outnumbered those who voted against it... until 40,000 troops returning from World War I came back and swung the vote in the other direction.
