The temperance movement, which emerged in the 19th century, sought to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption due to its perceived negative effects on society, including crime and family disintegration. Activists, often motivated by moral, religious, and social concerns, laid the groundwork for the prohibition movement, which culminated in the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. This amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages. However, the unintended consequences of prohibition, including a rise in organized crime, ultimately led to its repeal in 1933 with the 21st Amendment.
