As the "U.S. is voted dry," by the 18th amendment, different people had different opinions on this act. Mostly mothers, thought that this was the start of a new beginning. If their children are prohibited alcohol in their life, it could prevent many situations in their lives, like fights and drunkenness. The mothers also hoped that with this prohibition, men would be able to treat women more appropriately, other than men who become drunk and abuse their wives. Although, their plans did not go the way they seemed. Bootleggers, and speakeasies appeared from the dark. People still had the strong desire to get alcohol, anyway possible, even if it was illegal. Bootleggers, sold and distributed the alcohol illicitly, and the speakeasies were illicit liquor store.

People didn't care for the enacted amendment, but since they kind of had a restriction on all alcohol, it made the government seem flimsy, since they couldn't really hold people back. People lost hope in the government, and in the end prohibition was released and alcohol was one again free.

A lot of soldiers knew then, that by enlisting in the war, it would have a toll on their lives. As they fought through Germany, many found out that Germans had a weapon up their sleeve. Severe machine guns were fired killing all of the men who tried to conquer that Germany camp.

Army -- As other armies were being demolished by one another, many supplies gave each of them an upper hand. Most armies got control over, the horses that were left from casualties of other battles. They were used to help pull the ambulances. Later on through time, a multiple of horses were used to pull heavy tanks. Many have died by having to walk and carry that unbearable weight. There was also a very strict rule about Mutiny. Rebelling will have dire consequences. Anyone who runs, or backs out of the military will get shot, and killed. Armies, also had a huge toll against people. They struck fear in them, and forcefully took whatever they desired. War had many terrible memories for families and the soldiers.
