Description
***Parental discretion advised: this topic has a violent history that is depicted through illustrations and may be triggering for some readers. *** Told through the voice of the green-eyed John Barleycorn, students are exposed to the science of making alcohol, the effects of alcohol on the body, and the history of the temperance movement leading to the prohibition era. The importance of this text is not actually about the alcohol but about the socioeconomic impact the eighteenth amendment had on America. There is a nice timeline in the back to help students see history and even add these dates to their own history timeline. 119 pgs, softcover. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of History Comics: Prohibition Era
Turn back the clock with History Comics! In this volume we visit the Prohibition Era and see how the business of booze became a criminal enterprise!
In 1919, the United States ratified an amendment to the Constitution that outlawed the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol. As a hard-fought dream for a better world became federal law, society soon began facing an onslaught of new problems: clever bootleggers, corrupt enforcers, crowded prisons, and violent gangsters. Walk through the hidden hallway of a Jazz Age speakeasy to uncover the moral panic over alcohol and excess that we continue to grapple with today.
