Prohibition in Hawaii’s Early History and Trade Chaos
Historians claim Hawaii under Nemehameha the Great first banned liquor in 1795 with severe penalties. Prohibition waned as foreign traders pressed in, then resurged with army camps in World War I. Separately, Chefoo hair net trade suffers chaos from Shanghai buyers bypassing contracts, sending prices up about 300 percent.
