Prohibition Era initiated with the approval of the 18th Amendment, banning alcohol nationwide.

The Prohibition Era in the USA marked a monumental shift in the country's social and political landscape. With the ratification of the 18th Amendment on 1/17/1920, the nation embarked on a nationwide ban on the production, sale, and distribution of alcohol. This momentous decision was driven by various factors, including the temperance movement's concerns about alcohol abuse and its perceived negative impact on society. The Prohibition Era led to the rise of speakeasies, illegal alcohol production, and increased organized crime. It ultimately sparked debates on personal freedoms, governmental control, and the effectiveness of prohibition laws. The era came to an end with the ratification of the 21st Amendment in 1933, repealing the 18th Amendment and ending the nationwide prohibition of alcohol. #ProhibitionEra #18thAmendment #TemperanceMovement
