Prohibition: The greatest social engineering program of all time. "No Drinks For You ! "

Описание: Welcome to 100 Years & More, the show where we uncover the stories hidden in headlines from a century ago and beyond.

In this episode, we dive into the history of American Prohibition—from the late 19th century through the early 20th century—by piecing together reporting from newspapers published more than 100 years ago.

We explore how the concept of temperance and moderation shifted into the push for total prohibition, and how a personal moral choice grew into a powerful religious and social movement. Ultimately, that movement transformed into a political force strong enough to change the U.S. Constitution itself.
Join us as we trace the rise of the Anti-Saloon League, the influence of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, the cultural battles around alcohol, and the national mood that paved the way for the 18th Amendment.

All stories are reconstructed from historic newspaper accounts to build one cohesive narrative of the era.
