The Prohibition movement came across in the united states during the late 1800's, led by religious groups who considered drunkenness a threat to society.
This is ridiculous, alcohol should be banned. They are sinners!
The 18th Amendment states that Alcohol is now banned
In 1919 the 18th Amendment was created to prohibit the use of alcohol.
I wasn't done with that.
No!, get off my property.
This is illegal..
The effect of the 18th Amendment was organized crime in the U.S. As the production and sale of alcohol went further underground.
Is alcohol banned? Then buy from me!
The widespread of public disillusionment led congress to ratify the 21st amendment, which repealed prohibition.
The gangs are getting too powerful with their alcohol operation. We need to unban it now!
Why'd we even ban it?
This repeal generated a number of positive effects.....
ALCOHOL IS LEGAL AGAIN DUE TO THE 21ST AMENDMENT!!!
Such as giving adults the personal freedom to drink again and weakening organized crimes grip on power.
