The temperance movement, which advocated for the reduction or prohibition of alcohol consumption, gained significant traction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, driven by concerns over health, morality, and social issues related to alcohol. This growing sentiment culminated in the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919, which established Prohibition, banning the manufacture and sale of alcohol in the United States. However, the negative consequences of Prohibition, including increased crime and disregard for the law, led to widespread disillusionment. As a result, the 21st Amendment was ratified in 1933, effectively repealing the 18th Amendment and legalizing alcohol once again.
