This came to action because people who were religious so it as the "Devil's Drink", and they didn't want people to die from it.The manufacture, sale, and the transporting of any alcohol beverage was prohibited. This was being adopted by a lot of countries and the United States adopted it in 1920. Citizens did not agree with the new law that they started  drinking illegally which caused bootleggers who were bringing  alcohol illegally into the United States.They created the speakeasies, who were the ones who brought the alcohol and sold it to illegal stores and nightclubs. Where people who wanted to have a drink would go and they had to try to keep a secret because if the police saw they confiscate and you would get arrested and fined . People were tired of this so they started marching on the street for the Prohibition to be repealed, it was repealed in 1933.
