The 21st Ammendment ended Prohibition by repealing the 18th Ammendment.
It was repealed for two reasons:
1. The law was widely broken. Prohibition led to a dramatic rise in organized crime. Plus, in bad times (such as the Great Depression) many people drink more.
2. Repealing Prohibition meant that alchohol could be taxed, thus making the federal government some money.
The 15th Amendment was not important during the US Civil War. The amendment was passed in 1870.
The 13th Amendment. It freed all slaves.
The first amendment was written and passes during 1791. The date it was passed was dec 15 1791.

False, it repealed Prohibition in 1951
The amendment to the Bill of Rights passed in 1951. It limits the number of terms a person may serve as president to two. Also, if a person as served more than two years of another's term, then that counts as one. This was done after Franklin Roosevelt (Democrat) was elected to four terms, during the depression and during WWII. Until then, it was a tradition that two terms was the limit - begun by George Washington. The Republicans led the change.
Franklin Roosevelt was the impetus that passed the 22nd amendment. He ignored Washington's precedent and ran for a third and even a fourth term.
The 26th Amendment in 1971. It lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.
