The 18th amendment made it illegal for the making, transporting, and selling of alcohol beverages.
They blamed consumption of alcohol for...
crime(during prohibition crime increased)
disease
mental illness
unapployment
many ills of society
I chose this video because during the prohibition there was no alcohol anywhere in the US, we were a dry country. It showed that more people drank during the 1920's then before the prohibition before and alcohole related deaths increased by a lot.
