The temperance movement, supported largely by women, campaigned for the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. Prohibition was eventually enacted with the 18th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920, making it illegal to produce, transport, or sell alcohol. This period lasted until the 21st Amendment repealed prohibition in 1933.
Prohibition was enforced in the United States from 1920 to 1933 through the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. This period is often referred to as the Prohibition era, during which the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol for consumption were illegal.
In 1919, the temperance movement achieved a significant victory with the ratification of the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. Prohibition officially began in 1920 with the passage of the Volstead Act, which provided for the enforcement of the amendment. This period led to significant social changes, including the rise of speakeasies and organized crime, as many people sought ways to circumvent the ban on alcohol.

The 18th amendment
Amendments are additions or clarifications. When a constitutional amendment is accepted and enacted, it effectively adds its contents to the constitution, or clarifies points set forth in either the constitution or another amendment. In the Constitution of the United States of America, numerous amendments have been accepted, some shortly after the document was drafted. Effectively, the Constitution served as the foundation, the framework for the ideals of the government. Amendments were proposed, and some added, to expand upon the Constitution's intent. The first ten constitutional amendments, collectively called the Bill of Rights, was completed roughly a decade after the Constituton was adopted. Amendments can be removed. The 18th Amendment was ratified in 1919, and banned alcohol in the United States. This period, called Prohibition, ended in 1933 when the 21st Amendment was passed. The sole purpose of the 21st Amendment was to repeal the 18th Amendment. In summary: to amend any document, constitutions included, means to modify, add, or clarify the document.
National Prohibition of alcohol in the United States began on the sixteenth (16th) of January, 1920, and ended on the fifth (5th) of December, 1933. However, the sale of beer had been legalized earlier that year. To be more specific, Repeal of National Prohibition occurred at 4:31 p.m. on December 5, 1933. It ended 13 years, 10 months, 19 days, 17 hours and 32.5 minutes of Prohibition. However, after Repeal, about 39% of the U.S. population continued living under state-wide prohibition. Even today, millions of people live in "dry" counties.
