7 St. 3 Min, 16 Jan 1919 Jahr - 18th Amendment (ratification) Jan. 16th, 1919

Beschreibung:

The 18th Amendment prohibited the sale and consumption of alcohol. This amendment was wildly unpopular and most people ignored it completely, which opened up a huge black market for alcohol. People would go to "speakeasy" nightclubs to drink, therefore, making most adult citizens criminals. It was repealed about 15 years later.
