"prohibition in the united states" has this time lapse map that switches from folksy banjo music to ominous industrial sci-fi for the 15 seconds when alcohol was illegal nationwide

Cool map. Don’t forget that alcohol prohibition was a proxy war against domestic violence. Early 20th century women tired of getting hit and raped by their drunk husbands, and no way to stop them with marriage laws.

seeing how southern states were embracing prohibition before and after the 18th amendment i’d more readily believe that it was an artifact of the southern baptist faith and no relation to domestic violence
