Abstract:
Distilling alcohol for private consumption has been regulated in the state since 1715. Complete prohibition occurred in 1908 after the passing of Watts and Ward Law. One reason distillation remained so prevalent in the northeast portion of the state is that distilling used the similar equipment as for making turpentine, an already established industry in the area. Dare County moonshiners took to distilling both because they already had the equipment and also tough economic times drove them to lucrative manufacturing and sale of alcohol.

Abstract:
One tale involved whiskey runners during the Prohibition, which inspired the transcribed tune about the town's role in the flourishing of the alcohol trade. Another story that could be considered legend involved the crew of the Crissie Wright, a ship first found drifting around Diamond Shoals. Added to the mystery were the frozen crew of the ship whose drifting ended in Beaufort harbor. The discovery inspired a saying still known in Carteret County, “cold as the night the Crissie Wright came ashore.”

Abstract:
Recent rejection of liquor by the drink in towns across North Carolina is a reminder of our state's 150 year history supporting prohibition. The state's first temperance society was founded in Guilford County in 1822. Four years later, Orange County Presbyterians formed the Society for the Suppression of Intemperance. The Sons of Temperance, a national fraternal order, launched a Raleigh chapter in 1842, but met with limited success until an 1851 membership drive featuring temperance lecturer Philip S. White. By year's end, North Carolina boasted 12,000 members in 281 chapters.

Abstract:
Once the despair of many a Federal prohibition agent, East Lake, a little swamp-hidden village of perhaps 250 souls on the Dare County mainland, has had hard sledding since the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth Amendment went by the boards. East Lake, the unofficial capital of booze making back in the Dry Era lay its chief claim to glory on a potent variety of ardent spirits known far and wide as \"East Lake Dew\" and marketed in quart bottles bearing imported labels.

Abstract:
Prohibition extended unfairly to members of the Cherokee nation in the 1930s. Cultural biases and stereotypes about Native American inability to handle alcohol perpetuated strict prohibition enforcement on western North Carolina's Native American reservations. Under section 2139 of the Revised Statutes of the United States established in 1832, supplying Native Americans with liquor came with a two year prison sentence and $300 fine.
