4.) Read the quote from John D. Rockefeller.

When Prohibition was introduced, I hoped that it would be widely supported by public opinion and the day would soon come when the evil effects of alcohol would be recognised. I have slowly and reluctantly come to believe that this has not been the result. Instead, drinking has generally increased; the speakeasy has replaced the saloon; a vast army of lawbreakers has appeared; many of our best citizens have openly ignored Prohibition; respect for the law has been greatly lessened; and crime has increased to a level never seen before.

–John D. Rockefeller, letter to The New York Times, 1932

What was Rockefeller’s main point?

Prohibition failed to accomplish its goal.
Prohibition was necessary to rid society of its evils.
Prohibition needed to be more widely supported by the government.
