The enormous growth of organized crime.
Prohibition created a black market for alcohol, leading to illegal production, smuggling, and distribution. This resulted in increased organized crime activity as criminal organizations took control of the illegal alcohol trade to meet the demand. The lack of legal oversight also led to an increase in violence and corruption.
Propaganda portrayed alcohol as harmful and linked it to public health and social issues. By emphasizing the negative consequences of drinking, such as crime and domestic violence, propaganda sought to sway public opinion toward supporting Prohibition as a solution to these problems. Additionally, Prohibition advocates used patriotic and moral appeals in their propaganda to position support for the ban as a duty to uphold American values.
