Nationwide Prohibition lasted from 1920 until 1933. The Eighteenth Amendment—which illegalized the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol—was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1917. In 1919 the amendment was ratified by the three-quarters of the nation's states required to make it constitutional. The driving force of the Prohibition movement was various religious organizations, who believed that less alcohol consumption would decrease the amount of crime, spousal abuse, and raise the overall amount of piety in America. President Herbert Hoover,  Described by American president Herbert Hoover as "a great social and economic experiment", prohibition – a ban which prevented alcohol from being made, transported or sold – was established across the United States in January 1920 and would remain in force for 13 years .President Woodrow Wilson The United States enacted Prohibition of alcoholic beverages with the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution and Volstead Act in 1920 under President Woodrow Wilson. During the period, the production, transportation, and distribution of alcohol were banned. Prohibition ultimately failed because at least half the adult population wanted to carry on drinking, policing of the Volstead Act was riddled with contradictions, biases and corruption, and the lack of a specific ban on consumption hopelessly muddied the legal waters. The WCTU was an influential organization with a membership of 120,000 by 1879. Frances Willard led the group under the motto "Do Everything" to protect women and children. The Anti-Saloon League, now known as the American Council on Addiction and Alcohol Problems, is an organization of temperance movement that lobbied for prohibition in the United States in the early 20th century. It was decisively defeated when Prohibition was repealed in 1933. 1920 ,Prohibition, legal prevention of the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1920 to 1933 under the terms of the Eighteenth Amendment. In U.S. history, bootlegging was the illegal manufacture, transport, distribution, or sale of alcoholic beverages during the Prohibition period (1920–33), when those activities were forbidden under the Eighteenth Amendment (1919) to the U.S. Constitution .Speakeasies were "so called because of the practice of speaking quietly about such a place in public, or when inside it, so as not to alert the police or neighbors". Many years later, in Prohibition-era America, the "speakeasy" became a common name to describe a place to get an illicit drink. I hope this helps! :)
