Description

Abstract:: Much history tends to become overlooked, forgotten and pushed to the side. In the early 20th century America, there were many impactful laws and historical moments taking place. One of them being Prohibition began in 1920 and ended in 1933. Many states took part in prohibition as well as taking their own initiative to enforcing the laws regarding prohibition. Virginia, the second state to ratify prohibition, had plenty of organizations, laws and early motives to help encourage moderation or the abolishment of alcohol use. Between the years of 1916 and 1933 there were criminal records detailing individuals who committed a crime related to alcohol and what their sentencing was. This is a part of history that seems to be overlooked due to the possible injustice taking place during these trials. I alongside my mentor have looked more into the history of Virginia before and during the prohibition era as well as what can be concluded from these criminal records.
