Prohibition Stations Activity Worksheet - Student

Prohibition was the banning of the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1920 to 1933. Supporters hoped to reduce alcohol consumption and social problems, but it had unintended consequences like the rise of organized crime. Speakeasies were illegal bars that sold alcohol in secret during Prohibition. Bootleggers smuggled and sold alcohol illegally to make money, and organized crime groups like Al Capone's grew powerful supplying the black market. By 1933, Americans were discouraged by Prohibition's failures and the appeal of taxing legal alcohol increased, leading to the ratification of the 21st Amendment repealing the 18th Amendment and ending national Prohibition in the United States.
