Social Studies 1920's Comic Strip
Testo Storyboard
- Prohibition
- Oh applesauce, I gotta get this illegal alcohol to the Big Cheese before the police get me!
- Oh this slow jalopy! I think I might be sleeping with the fishes tonight!
- *shudder* I get the heebie-jeebies just thinking 'bout the Boss.
- Phew! I made it! That car is such a struggle buggy.
- Prohibition, also known as the Volstead Act, or the 18th Amendment, started on January 17, 1920.
- Hello. Why don't you give me that barrel and get out.
- Hey, Boss. I got the giggle water, but I'm on the lam. Can I stay for a while?
- WHAT? Why can't I hide out here?
- Prohibition prohibited the sale, manufacture, transportation and consumption of alcohol.
- GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW OR THE ONLY WAY YOU ARE IS IN A MEAT WAGON!
- I said GIVE ME THE BARREL AND GET OUT!
- Fine! But what about my moolah? Where's my money?
- Prohibition was intended to reduce crime, corruption, and have a positive effect on social morality.
- Ha ha. I guess I'm not on the lam anymore because there aren't enough police to enforce the law. I'm FREE!
- Oh no, I'm gonna get caught standing out in the open like this!
- The opposite ended up happening. There was more crime than ever before, and even good citizens were breaking the law. Gangsters started appearing, including Al Capone and many others.
- Prohibition was just too hard to enforce and there weren't nearly enough police officers to help.
- Prohibition was ended on December 5, 1933 by the 21st Amendment.
