====The 18th amendment was commonly called Prohibition. Prohibition was the ban on the manufacture and sale of alcohol. Supporters felt that Prohibition would promote morality and good health.However, the unfortunate result of prohibition was the growth of organized crime. Another unfortunate event was that it divided the country. It divided the country between people who agreed an disagreed with the amendment. Enforcing the law proved almost impossible. People who wanted alcohol found endless ways to get it. Such as through underground drinking spots and bootleggers. This caused an increase of death from alcohol. The people in the temperance movement pushed to have this amendment passed.By the late 1920s most Americans had come to see Prohibition ended, but organized crime did not end with it. Which also cause many problems in the Roaring twenties. I believe that this amendment was not a good idea to pass. They should have enforced not drinking but not ban it. That would only make others want to do it more. However, it wasn't the governments fault. They could not have made people behave better. It wasn't in their con====

MANHATTAN PROJECT!
Japan and The United States were at war after the boming at Pearl Harbor. In the summer of 1945, Japan continued to fight. The allies planned to invade japan. However, American military leaders feared that it might cost them 200,000 American casualties. For that reason American officials considered using an atomic bomb. This is how the Manhattan project originated. Shortly after The United States entered the war It was created in 1942. The Manhattan Project was top-secret. The leader of the program was American scientists J. Robert Oppenheimer. For three years the project team worked hard to accomplish it.The bomb was finally finished after testing it. Truman warned Japan. He said if they do not surrender they were going to have to face destruction. The Japanese refused to surrender. On April 6,1945 the B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped the bomb. It was dropped on a city in Japan that goes by the name of Hiroshima. The devastating explosion killed 70,000 people and turned five square miles into wasteland. Still after experiencing that horrible explosion the Japanese still refused to give in. On august 9, The United States dropped another bomb. This time on Nagasaki, killing another 40,000 people. Finally on August 14,Japan surrendered.To be sure on September 2,1945,Japanese and Allied leaders met. There, Japanese officials signed an official letter to surrender. The United States was happy it was over. They fought a long hard war that affected the lives of many people. Although, we did accomplish a great thing we made our first bomb! That was a big step in history and in war. That would help us extremely in the future!
