Society faced many large changes as the Prohibition was passed to enforce temperance, or anti-alcoholism. Prior to this, support for temperance grew through WWI where the 18th amendment was later passed. Its purpose was to get rid of all alcohol in the U.S. For this, the Volstead Act was a law passed to enforce this amendment. However, organized crime still occurred quite often. Through this crime, alcohol was produced, used, or distributed, although it was illegal. Sometimes it would be snuck across borders of other countries or made it at home. Alcohol was also illegally distributed. Bootleggers would illegally sell alcohol to those who wanted it and speakeasies grew popularity as illegal drinking facilities. There were various known criminals, like Chicago’s own Al Capone. He was a known criminal leader, who ran alcohol industries, as well as leading other crimes like prostitution, drugs, robbery, and murder throughout the times of Prohibition. Although the government worked hard to enforce the Prohibition and temperance, the Prohibition was eventually repealed in 1933 in the 21st amendment.
