  1. prohibition era

    The Prohibition Era refers to a period in the United States from 1920 to 1933, when the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages was banned nationwide under the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The aim was to reduce crime, corruption, and social problems associated with alcohol. However, it often led to the opposite effect, contributing to the rise of organized crime and illegal speakeasies. The era ended with the ratification of the 21st Amendment, which repealed the 18th Amendment.
