The document summarizes the prohibition era in the United States from 1920 to 1933. It describes how the temperance movement led to the passage of the 18th Amendment, which banned the production and sale of alcohol nationwide. The Volstead Act defined the terms of the amendment and prohibited intoxicating beverages. Crime rates increased during this time due to the rise of underground alcohol trade. Prohibition ended in 1933 with the ratification of the 21st Amendment, which repealed the 18th Amendment.
