The temperance movement, which advocated for the reduction or prohibition of alcohol consumption, gained significant traction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, driven by concerns over health, morality, and social issues related to alcohol. This growing sentiment culminated in the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919, which established Prohibition, banning the manufacture and sale of alcohol in the United States. However, the negative consequences of Prohibition, including increased crime and disregard for the law, led to widespread disillusionment. As a result, the 21st Amendment was ratified in 1933, effectively repealing the 18th Amendment and legalizing alcohol once again.

Prohibition went into effect in the United States primarily due to the temperance movement, which sought to reduce alcohol consumption due to its perceived negative effects on society, including crime, family breakdown, and health issues. Advocates believed that banning alcohol would lead to a more moral and productive society. The 18th Amendment, ratified in 1919, established the prohibition of alcohol, reflecting a broader cultural shift and the influence of various religious and social groups. Ultimately, it aimed to improve public welfare but led to unintended consequences, including the rise of organized crime.

It caused people to make, sell, and transport alcohol illegally which later lead to an increase in alcohol-realted crimes. The 18th Amendment was then reapealed because of the lack of people following the law of banning alcohol.
The 19th amendment was passed giving the right to vote.
The prohibition appeal in the early 20th century was driven by a widespread belief that alcohol was the root cause of many societal problems, including crime, poverty, and domestic violence. Advocates, particularly from the temperance movement, argued that banning alcohol would lead to a healthier, more moral society. This culminated in the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919, which established national prohibition in the United States. However, the appeal ultimately backfired, leading to an increase in illegal speakeasies and organized crime, which contributed to its repeal in 1933.
