Source A and Source B struggle to agree on the causes of prohibition. I can, however see one similarity. This similarity is emphasised far more in Source B than A. It is that alcohol is evil and saloons were a bad influence on the men of America.

... a) Source A and Source B struggle to agree on the causes of prohibition. I can, however see one similarity. This similarity is emphasised far more in Source B than A. It is that alcohol is evil and saloons were a bad influence on the men of America. This is the only explanation given by Source B. Whereas Source A gives us many. Both sources seem to agree that Prohibition should have been introduced. However, they do have two different points of view on alcohol. Source A, taken from an American History book, published in 1973, sends out the impression that alcohol was a bad thing, however it was not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. The main feeling in Source A is that it was not patriotic to drink alcohol. There was still a very strong feeling against the Germans in America at this time.
