1933 Anti-Prohibition protest. Early on in the process people began to turn against the prohibition law. Not only by breaking it, also by forming groups that were dedicated to its destruction. Groups such as the “Crusaders” and others formed larger coalitions, just as religious groups had previously to get Prohibition enacted into law. After the government poisoning program was enacted in 1926, which forced companies who produced industrial alcohols such as grain alcohol and rubbing alcohol to poison their products. In the following 7 year period, over 10,000 Americans would be poisoned by their government. These events an the bloodshed that people witnessed in every American city for control of this illegal market, convinced many that Prohibition was a mistake. The world did not follow our example as previously thought. Instead countries like Canada, Mexico, Great Britain and others profited from our mistake.
