The take-home essay (3-5 pages) will be accepted only through Canvas.
For the final essay, use the following two primary sources to answer the prompts below:
1) 18th Amendment
2) 21th Amendment
Prompt: When the 18th Amendment passed in 1920, the U.S. government made it illegal to buy, sell, and make alcohol in this country.
Throughout the 1920's, most of the general public made it aware that they were not excited about this amendment, which eventually led to its repeal in 1933 by the 21st amendment.
Trace the history of these two amendments using the questions below as guides. Be sure to write you essay in the traditional scholarly essay format.
A proper essay should contain an introduction with a thesis statement, several body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph with several outside, reliable research sources to support your arguments. Do Not Use Wikipedia.
Provide the context for each primary source within its historical era. Consider answering these questions:
o What year did these amendments take place?
o What do the amendments generally state?
o Who approved/pushed for the 18th amendment, and why (e.g. temperance movements, anti-immigrant feelings, religious revivalism, Anti-Saloon League)?
o Who approved/pushed for the 21st amendment, and why (e.g. failure to enforce sobriety, few law enforcement officers, cost of enforcing, the rise of organized crime, etc.)?
Analyze the primary sources to evaluate the significance across time in history. For example, consider these questions:
o What has changed from the first amendment to the second?
o What were the factors that brought about this change?
Analyze the historical impact on diverse groups. Consider answering the following questions:
o Who were mainly persecuted/targeted under the 18th amendment?
Is there a specific population (e.g. immigrants, Germans, Irish)?
Were the targeted mainly men? How about women? On which side of the argument were women mostly on? Why?
The final papers will be evaluated according to the grading rubric at the end of this document.
