Prohibition plot

"Prohibition" describes how the consumption and effect of alcoholic beverages in the United States is related to many different cultural forces, including immigration, women's rights, and the income tax. Ultimately, the movement advocating for moderation led to the passing of Prohibition, the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Widespread flaws in the law, uneven and unpopular enforcement, and violent crime associated with the illegal trade in alcohol caused growing discontent with the amendment, leading to its repeal 13 years later.
