Question Title

* 7. In the late 1800s the temperance movement gained strength in the United States. Many states
and local governments outlawed alcoholic beverages. WWI further aided those working for
national laws against drinking. The need for food during the war led to the passage of the Lever
Act in 1917. To increase the food supply this act outlawed grain use in alcoholic beverages.
In 1919, the manufacture, sale and transport of all alcoholic beverages were prohibited by the
18 th Amendment to the Constitution. Prohibition led many moderate people to break the law.
Some historians think that if Prohibition had applied only to hard liquor, it would have
succeeded. Instead, the 18 Amendment was repealed in 1933, and alcohol again became legal.
When was the use of grain prohibited in alcohol?
