Why they banned beer
Beer was a depressant during the 1920s it was cheap and was fun for a lot of people but, then it got out of hand and everyone was using it too much. Accidents were happing and this was during prohibition. During the time more amendments were being added to the constitution and they made the 18th amendment that banned the sale, manufacturing, and transportation of beer. Our federal government did this to reduce crimes and corruption as well as social problems in general. -

Bootleggers and gangsters

The Impact
After the 18th amendment came bootlegging distribution and illegal activity involving alcohol became widespread. The transportation and everything that came with selling and buying alcohol were bad and a lot of bad things happened to a lot of bad people and good as well. -
Al Capone
Al Capone was an American businessman and a gangster. He was a bootlegger and during the 1920s was selling Illegally alcohol and distributing it as well he didn't do this all the time only the time when the price was up. -
The lasting
Everyone was in love with alcohol at this time and bootleggers and others were making a lot of money from this so people would never stop even when it was banned in 1920 -
Robert glen
Before Nascar Robert glen was a famous moonshiner and before the cars came he had to sit behind some bars. I believe he was sent to prison when he was just a young boy because he was always working in his father's shop -
The end
All in all the 18th amendment was just a symbol and kind of a threat to stop drinking beer but, I think the 18th amendment just made more problems and cauis during the 1920s. Plus it was ratified and repealed over the 21st Amendment and it was the first amendment ever to be reapeld. It just made matters worse!
