Was Prohibition: Significant Or Justified?

Prohibition was the result used by the government to help ration fruits and grain so as to aid those fighting in the war. Prohibition was first introduced in Pince Edward island in 1901as well as the Yukon and Newfoundland, during the first world war one. At that time prohibition was seen as a social sacrifice to help with the war. An aspect of the prohibition era was that because united states were under a constitutional amendment they could manufacture and sell any type of alcohol. this lead to smugglers to depart Canada with shiploads of alcohol. Additionally, I don't really think that Prohibition is that significant but in general just created more problems than it solved. with the crime increasing in the economy it was a terrible idea
