Comparative Chart

This worksheet asks students to compare temperance reformers and bootleggers using a structured chart. For each category, students write one complete sentence explaining goals, motivations, societal effects, methods, and public support for each group. The activity strengthens comparison and contrast skills while helping students understand competing viewpoints during Prohibition. Students finish with a reflection question that requires evaluating which group had a greater impact on everyday life. This encourages deeper historical reasoning and evidence-based explanation.
