In the early 20th century, America witnessed one of the most controversial periods in its history. The Prohibition era, a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcohol, lasted for over a decade. It was aimed at reducing crime and corruption, promoting morality and health, and increasing productivity. However, Prohibition had many unforeseen consequences, including the rise of organized crime and the degradation of public morals. Despite its noble intentions, Prohibition failed to achieve its goals and was eventually repealed.
