Prohibition

Question 8 • [HSSUS] US History, Sem 1 (26-27)

Which of MacCurrie’s statements best summarizes his opinion of Prohibition?

Answer
A
“I wonder was that ever fought out in the courts. Seems to me it was illegal.”
B
“You can't tell me he didn't have that half pint when he went in there.”
C
“Accomplished nothin' and did a lot of harm.”

Explanation

MacCurrie’s overall judgment is captured by saying Prohibition “accomplished nothin' and did a lot of harm.” The other statements focus on whether Prohibition was legal or whether a particular person drank; they do not summarize his opinion of the policy as a whole.
