The 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1919, established the prohibition of Alcoholic Beverages, making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport alcohol in the U.S. This amendment was a significant outcome of the temperance movement, which aimed to reduce alcohol consumption due to its perceived negative social effects. However, the 18th Amendment led to increased illegal activities, such as bootlegging and speakeasies. It was eventually repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
