Answer 1

Answer: B) Florida

Explanation:The white states in this map, such as Texas and Oregon, enacted prohibition laws by 1855. The darkest states, such as Florida had not yet voted.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. Florida. Of course, prohibition was reffered to producing and selling acohol liquers and it lasted from the passage of the Volstead Act in 1919 until it was repealed in 1933. Florida, however, had quite the head start on national prohibition, and later managed to elect a governor on the Prohibition Party ticket in 1916.
