The 18th Amendment passed prohibition into law in 1919, making it illegal to produce, sell, or transport alcohol in the United States. This led to increased illegal alcohol production and consumption during the "Roaring Twenties."
The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was a group that was disproportionately prominent in the crusade against alcohol during the temperance movement. Led by women, the WCTU advocated for the prohibition of alcohol in the United States.

Alcohol is not illegal because it has been ingrained in many cultures for centuries, making it socially accepted. Additionally, the alcohol industry generates significant revenue for governments through taxes. Prohibition in the past showed that banning alcohol led to increased crime and black market activity. Regulations and education are used to manage the risks associated with alcohol consumption instead.
The Seneca Falls Women's rights convention had a big impact because of the Declaration of sentiments established during that meeting.
