As more and more people came to see National Prohibition as not only a failure but also as the cause of very serious problems, a large majority called for its repeal.
Prohibition failed for several reasons, including widespread public disobedience and the rise of organized crime, which profited from the illegal production and distribution of alcohol. Many Americans viewed the law as an infringement on personal freedom, leading to a culture of secret bars known as speakeasies.
