Comments by "Adam Bainbridge" (@AdamMGTF) on "The US Turns Away from the World to Prohibition and Crime I Between 2 Wars I 1921 Part 1 of 2" video.

I entered this comment thread to make the exact points time ghost did. As an added note. The 60% of people who aren't American that watch this. Largely have as little interest in understanding the way American laws are made, as Americans have interest in how laws are made in other countries. NB. I studied American government and politics as part of my A:Level College course in the UK. So I'm probably not the best advocate of my point. BUT it still stands. If a person from xyz were watching this to learn of WORLD historical events. They'd soon wonder why on earth there was a Segway into American law making that wasn't relevent to the content.

@kraanz about to be my point. Lol. Though yes there was a different naming culture then which may be what the op meant. I wonder what proabition would have been like if they'd outlawed a different drug. Caffeine say? Would the Mafia have set themselves up selling bootleg coffee 😂

@Veylon I really can't work that one out. I've been a keen historian for 20 years. I'm English and voted in the referendum. I've read widely on the 1880-1950 era. I can't work out how proabition can be compared to the British vote to leave the EU...

Your quote is a little off. It was date not day and seven, not seventh. The Americanism of saying 7 not 7th always sounds so odd to me 🤔
