Repeal of National Prohibition in the US allowed individual states whether to have state-wide prohibition or to permit "local option" whereby counties and other political jurisdictions could decide for themselves whether or not to have local prohibition.
As of 1930, there were no state prohibition laws in Mississippi and Louisiana. These states did not enact their own prohibition laws in the 1920s, unlike the majority of other states in the US.
The views of Americans about National Prohibition changed over time from generally favorable to generally negative. By the time of repeal, about 75% of voters opposed Prohibition.
