Question

What were the main factors that contributed to the repeal of the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) in the 1920s?

Answer 1

A general realization that is wasn't working. People didn't stop drinking. Drunks still beat their wives, drove into crowds, spent the rent money on booze; it just cost more and the profit went to gangsters, not an honest winemonger or a hard-working brewer.

Answer 2

Al Capone's Saint Valentine's Day massacre was the beginning of the end of prohibition. The American public was fed up with the level of violence that prohibition brought upon their society.

Answer 3

GOVERNMENT OF COURSE!!!!!!
