| Description: | A Nation of Scofflaws: Narratives of Prohibition On January 16th 1920, the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution was officially ratified, making the sale, manufacture, and transportation of intoxicating beverages illegal. America had begun, what President Herbert Hoover referred to as, "the Noble Experiment". While this experiment in alcohol prohibition may have been noble in its intentions it also helped earn the 1920s the nickname "the Lawless Decade." As many law-abiding citizens became criminals either by becoming scofflaws (a term coined in the 1920s for someone who drinks illegally) or worse: bootleggers and rumrunners. This tutorial will use stories from America's "Noble Experiment" to show how analytical narratives can be used to help illuminate the social sciences. |
