Abstract: On June 15, 1919, Connecticut union officials and city delegations joined a mass protest at the U.S. Capitol to oppose the Eighteenth Amendment, which was ratified the previous January, and to reshape the Volstead Act, the enforcement legislation that was soon to be introduced into the House of Representatives. (The Volstead Act became law on October 28, 1919.) The marchers carried American flags and demanded that 2 ¾% beer, “the workingman’s beer,” and light wines be excluded from Prohibition.

Prohibition in the United States: A 100-Year Retrospective (Blog Post)Title: Prohibition in the United States: A 100-Year Retrospective
Author: Erin Shapland
Abstract: Prohibition in the United States: A 100-Year Retrospective is a 5-part blog series offering readers an overview of the history of drug prohibition in the United States using historical newspapers and two of the nation's most widely used psychoactive drugs: alcohol and marijuana. Part 5, "Repeal, Taxation, and What Followed," wraps up the series by comparing the cost of drug enforcement with tax revenue following legalization, and discusses what happened when the 18th amendment was repealed. This post also includes the series bibliography.
