Did you just write a TIL and quote yourself as the source?
He did. Because everything he posted is wrong, except about the What made the U.S. pass the Federal Firearms Act of 1934 was the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre that was ordered by Al Capone (Italian) during his reign and the attempted assassination of FDR in 1933. All the ones killed in that SVD massacre were jewish gangsters of the Moran gang, enemies of Al Capone. The Moran gang were Irish, but had jewish members in the gang and the ones who were killed by Capone's men on Saint Valentine's Day were jewish.
Prohibition was largely in fact was passed by women of Anti-Saloon League and the Woman's Christian Temperance Movement who ended up getting power after the sufferage movement gained power to allow women to vote in the next upcoming elections in that decade, elections that involved the passing of the Volstead Act of 1920 which is the Eighteenth Amendment while American men were in Europe overseas fighting a war that some Bosnian jackass started.
What ended prohibition was because of the economic downturn caused by the Great Depression where farmers were prevented in growing corn because corn at that time Law enforcement believed it was used to make moonshine and other liquiors other than food.
But it was jewish groups that started the female vote and thus could get their legislation passed using them while the men were away. Either way, there was a select group behind this movement and it was shady at best.
How Howard Hyde Russell raised 5 million which is 120 million today is beyond imagining.
But you're right, the movement started in the Churches and grew because of the working class being more and more intoxicated and the upper-class's objection to it. Whether that has something to do with it is up for debate.
Don't bother heracleides, he's intentionally missing the point.
What set us up for ww1? Oh right, the Napoleonic wars.
Who did Napoleon try to emancipate and aid at every turn?
The Jews.
The temperance movement wouldn't have had the power to get anything passed without jewish support of the sufferage movement.
And for reference, i did quote myself ha. Thought it was worth its own post and couldn't be arsed to rewrite it.
Us programmers are lazy fucks.
Edit: Javik does have me on the end of prohibition though.
