The Effects of the Prohibition

Prohibition changed the society from 1920 until 1933. This was due to the fact that people who were religious saw alcohol it as the "Devil's Drink", and they didn't want people to die from it. The manufacturing, sale, and the transportation of any alcoholic beverage was band. Many countries and the United States adopted it in 1920. Citizens did not agree with the new law and they started  drinking illegally. This lead to people called bootleggers to bring  alcohol illegally into the United States.They created the speakeasies, who were the ones who brought the alcohol and sold it to illegal stores and nightclubs. Here, people that wished to consume alcohol would go to do so. People tried to keep it a secret because if the police found out about the illegally consumption and distribution or the alcohol they would confiscate it and people would get arrested and fined . People were tired of this so they started marching on the street for the Prohibition to be repealed. It was repealed in 1933.
