    Lisa McGirr’s book, The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State, argues that alcohol was a major part of the New Deal and previous scholarship concerning alcohol has marginalized the subject or emphasized the failure of Prohibition. Contrary to this scholarship, McGirr claims the opposite, “that beer took its place in the vanguard of New Deal measures” (xiii). Referring to the title of her book, McGirr convincingly proves that the war on alcohol was waged on African Americans, the immigrant population, and against poor white communities, most notably seen through the rise of the second Ku Klux Klan. While Prohibition was significant in leading to the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the very discrimination that…

    Moving on before the arrival of troops, America’s first moonshiners at the Whiskey Rebellion showed the signs of a nation split between an industry of legally distilled alcohol and a new black market of illegal moonshine (Watman 31). These rebels relocated to the wilderness in Kentucky, the slopes of the Blue Ridge, and the Smokey Mountains where they would be left alone and could escape government control. It was in these remote places that moonshiners, who opposed the tax, made and sold liquor while alluding tax collectors and capture. The Appalachian Mountains became a dangerous place as government officials encroached on moonshiners protecting their livelihood. The election of Thomas Jefferson, in 1800, brought about the repeal of the tax…

Although nation-wide Canadian prohibition was not enacted at the federal level until 1918, which is often seen as a response to the First World War, the organizations behind the temperance…
