Unit Description

By the late middle of the nineteenth century drunkenness had become a serious problem through the nation. Many people thought that a Constitution amendment was needed to eliminate all drinking of alcohol.

The Sixteenth Amendment was passed that made alcohol consumption illegal. However, the conflict over Prohibition eventually came to reflect a growing tension between rural and city areas, since cities had large populations of immigrants who had grown up in countries where drinking alcohol was part of their culture. Prohibition did not prove to be successful and the very behaviors it was intended to curb became worse eventually ending in passing of the Twenty-First Amendment which overturned the Eighteenth.
