THE 18th AMENDMENT!
The temperance movement, supported largely by women, campaigned for the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. Prohibition was eventually enacted with the 18th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920, making it illegal to produce, transport, or sell alcohol. This period lasted until the 21st Amendment repealed prohibition in 1933.
Prohibition.
An organized campaign to eliminate alcohol consumption.
The temperance movement achieved its goal with the passage of the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibited the sale, production, and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States. This led to the era known as Prohibition from 1920 to 1933.
There is no question that the temperance movement, particularly, the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), was the most important political force which resulted in Prohibition in 1920. There could never have been Prohibition without the WCTU.
