Homer Simpson vs the 18th Amendment

Part 1: The Simpsons did a very good job in portraying the 1920's prohibition in Springfield. They added humor to the facts but interesting enough, the facts of prohibition did outweigh the fictional comedy. In the Simpsons, almost the whole town of Springfield was angry about the new law of banning alcohol. It also shows how the new beverages companies went out of business. They also did a good job by relating the mobs/mafia as the people who sold the beer illegally. Speakeasies and bootleggers were a main important part of the 1920's and the Simpsons portrayed them well. The humor that they added to the show was the bar turning into a pet shop. Also, the transport of alcohol through bowling balls. I did enjoy this episode, although it had many facts about prohibition in the 1920's it also added humor to the episode. Overall, this episode was a very educational and funny.

Part 2: If i were to add a scene, i would add to the beginning about why prohibition came about. I would have shown that alcohol caused problems such as fighting, gambling, prostitution, etc to show why Prohibition occurred.

Should Americans/patriots have to give up their personal freedoms during war?

During the war, Americans should not have to give up their personal freedoms. Americans who believe in our country and truly want to help the war will participate but just because people do not participate in a war does not mean they aren't true Americans. In modern times, people now have jobs and family's and lives ahead of them. Back then, the whole world would only be about war. Most men's jobs was participating in the war and their only lives ahead of them was winning the war. People nowadays live a different lifestyle and although the war is still going on people are dealing with other difficulties in their daily lives. i believe if you want to fight for your country that's great but if you don't want to, that's okay too.

U.S.S MAINE EXPLODES AND SINKS

On February 15, the USS Maine sank and exploded!! Over 250 Americans were killed in the explosion. The battleship was in the harbor of Havana, Cuba protecing American interests. Around 9:40 pm the USS Maine was torn apar by one or two explosions. The Spain are to blame! Many Americans believe USS Maine was supposed to leave the harbor two days after it had exploded. Clearly the Spanish had this planned! A few days ago McKinley was insulted in the de lome letter. This makes perfect sense. The spanish are clearly mad that we are in their territory and over powering them. If they want war, lets bring war. They killed 250 innocent Americans. It's our time to return the favor!
