The ratification of the 21st Amendment in the USA marked the end of Prohibition, a period where the sale, production, and distribution of alcohol were prohibited. This momentous event allowed for the legal sale and consumption of alcohol to resume in the country, bringing an end to the era of bootlegging and speakeasies that had defined the 1920s. The repeal of Prohibition had significant social and economic impacts, including the revival of the alcohol industry, the creation of jobs, and an increase in tax revenue for the government. It also reflected a shift in public attitudes towards alcohol and government regulation. #ProhibitionRepeal #21stAmendment #EndOfProhibition
