Prohibition took place in America from 1920 to 1933. It was a time when alcohol was illegal to make, use, and drink.
Prohibition was put into place in the United States in 1920 with the 18th Amendment to reduce crime, corruption, and social issues related to alcohol consumption. Supporters believed it would improve public health and morality, but it ultimately led to an increase in illegal activities such as bootlegging and organized crime.
The phrase "speak easy" refers to a place, typically a bar or club, that illegally sold alcoholic beverages during the Prohibition era in the United States (1920-1933). These establishments required patrons to speak quietly or "easy" to avoid drawing attention to the illegal activities taking place inside.
