It was made a law to reduce crime.

also because Men (usually Fathers) would go out and get drunk and spend all their money on alcohol then come home and beat their wife.

so a women thought "oh if we ban alcohol men wouldnt beat their wives spend all their money on alcohol and drunk people wont go and do illegal things.

But this horrible back fired because crime rate went up people still drank alcohol and people had to do illegal things to get the alcohol to the U.S. so it costed even more.
