Alcohol

        The Prohibition Act of 1920 was the act of prohibiting the production sale and manufacture of alcoholic beverages. It first came into effect on January 17, 1920 when the approval of 36 states was granted. The reason for this was because alcohol caused an abundant amount of issues. Men would abuse women and children, when drunk and even act up at work. The ironic part of this act was that it was meant to stop destruction, but instead it made the world more corrupt. Since alcohol was at high demand, the people of the United States, would do almost anything to get it, even kill and commit other illegal acts. Alcohol being banned was also an easy way for immigrants to make money. The alcohol moonshine was distributed to the people, which is a form of alcohol that was home made. Moonshine was dangerous and killed many people, reason being because most of the time it was made in their bath tubs and was unsanitary. Seeing that people were still committing crimes the United States tried to control it from the inside, but it was clearly impossible since their was too much distribution to handle. With that said the Prohibition act of 1920 was repealed.
