The Prohibition refers to the period in the United States from 1920 to 1933 when the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages were constitutionally outlawed under the 18th Amendment. This movement aimed to reduce crime and corruption, improve health, and uplift social standards. However, it led to unintended consequences, including the rise of organized crime and illegal speakeasies. Prohibition was eventually repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.

What where the roles of mafia during prohibtion?
In the 1920s, during prohibition, alcohol was illegal in the United States. the Mafia (many in Chicago) would make money by sneaking alcohol into the states from Canada and selling it. Often, they would hide bottles of alcohol in empty caskets and transport them over the border in hearses.
Did any states continue with Prohibtion even though it was abolished?
Yes, especially in the South where the law was popular. Mississippi was the last to end a statewide prohibition of alcohol in the 1960s, but on a local level, there is still prohibition in some counties today.
What reasons caused Prohibtion to fail?
Prohibition failed for several key reasons, including widespread public disregard for the law, which led to the rise of illegal speakeasies and organized crime. Law enforcement was often underfunded and overwhelmed, making it difficult to enforce the ban effectively. Additionally, the economic implications of losing taxes from alcohol sales and the negative social consequences, such as increased violence and corruption, contributed to growing public disillusionment with Prohibition. Ultimately, the combination of these factors led to its repeal in 1933.
