Short term memory loss?

Local prohibitions continued around America for centuries.
"In 1733, the Georgia colony had the dubious distinction of being the first colony to establish a prohibition edict."
Short term memory loss?

"The edict was rescinded in 1742."
No short term memory loss on my part, though that has got to be one of the most feable attempts at disparagement and association you've made to date.
I don't consider that instance "continuing for centuries". In fact, that particular prohibition was rather short lived lasting only nine years, not even a whole decade!
