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.
The 18th amendment started the prohibition of alcohol and the Volstead Act enforced it. The 21st amendment would later appeal the 18th, ending prohibition.
