Join The Mob Museum’s Director of Education Claire White as she explores the role that World War I played in passing the 18th Amendment. At the turn of the 20th century, powerful organizations across the United States called for the outlaw of alcohol. But it was World War I that served as the final rallying cry for the temperance cause. Learn about mounting support for temperance and how larger cultural shifts during wartime effected Prohibition’s enforcement, paving the way for a law that would become a golden opportunity for the Mob.
