Throughout Carters banter, he repeatedly acknowledged he had no statistical evidence of some of his numbers, limiting the use. Though the source was written in a very scholarly manner, many comments seemed off subject. Project Purpose: Carter helps show the historical side of prohibition, allowing his piece to be used in the introduction. Buenker, John D. The Illinois Legislature and Prohibition, 1907-1919 Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1908-1984). 62.4 (1969): 364-365. Print.

Olmstead 2 an economics standpoint, the source is not as useful as it could be, but it does give surprising amounts of evidence. Project Purpose: Buenker gives a specific case of prohibition, which can be used in the project to give an example with some statistical evidence. Warburton, Clark. Prohibition and Economic Welfare. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. 163 (1973): 92-94. Print. In text: (Warburton) Summary: Warburton does a good job of showing how prohibition allowed for crime leaders to gain a lot of money through prohibition. In doing so the source is very strong with statistical data. However, some of the data seems random. Project Purpose: In all actuality, this source will be used only to show how money from alcohol sales was not lost, but instead went to mafia leaders. Jones, Bartlett C. Prohibition and Prosperity, 1920-1930 Social Science 50.2 (1975): 78-86. Print. In text: (Jones) Summary: Bartlett Jones critics how prosperity was actually gained through prohibitin. This was a bit of a weak source because it seemed very emotionally driven. Never the less, from it was derived a notion that the poor really suffered from prohibition, and the rich found loopholes around it. Project Purpose: Since the economic side is being studied, it is interesting to consider how social classes were able to establish their means of obtaining a higher priced alcohol.

Olmstead 4 Project Purpose The source allows for more data to be displayed about the time period. Thorton, Mike. Alcohol Prohibition was a Failure. The Cato Institute. Cato Institute n.d. Web. 6 April 2014. In text: (Thorton) Summary: Very similar to his other works, Thorton goes into deeps about prohibition using graphs to represent trends in the time period.

Web. 4 Apr. 2014. In text: (Prohibition then) Summary: This source talks about the reasons people at the time supported prohibition. Though we have lots of evidence to disprove some of the stated claims, it is an interesting counterweight to hear the oppositions perspective on the matter.

Olmstead 5 Purpose: As said in the summary, the perspective is a nice counter weight to the argument against prohibition. We believe both sides should be explored.
