The Prohibition period in the United States, from 1920 to 1933, was marked by the legal ban on the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages, as mandated by the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. This era aimed to reduce crime and corruption, improve health, and enhance moral standards; however, it led to unintended consequences, including the rise of organized crime and speakeasies. The period ended with the ratification of the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition.
