Boring History for Sleep | Prohibition | Soft Voice, Black Screen

Boring history for sleep — American Prohibition, told slowly so you can drift off. Soft voice. Black screen. Gentle rain under the story. The heavy-drinking early republic and the first temperance pledges, the Women's Crusade of 1873 and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the saloon and its free lunch, the Anti-Saloon League and Wayne Wheeler, how the income tax of the Sixteenth Amendment and the First World War (and anti-German feeling) cleared the way, the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act in January 1920, enforcement and the Prohibition Bureau, Rum Row and the Canadian border, speakeasies and jazz, medicinal whiskey, sacramental wine, and home winemaking, organized crime and Al Capone told calmly, women on both sides from the WCTU to Pauline Sabin and the WONPR, Hoover's noble experiment and the Wickersham Commission, the Depression and the Twenty-First Amendment in December 1933, and the dry counties and lasting effects that remain — disputed numbers flagged, legends marked as legends, no invented quotes, no gore, no trauma-thriller, no sermon, just quiet factual history for rest. This is relaxation audio for adults, not medical advice and not a treatment for insomnia or any condition. Separate from my medical practice. If you fall asleep mid-sentence, that’s the point. World History Nights — long, quiet history for sleep.
