Answer 1

Prohibition accomplished making the sale of alcohol illegal, led to increased crime and corruption, and brought about the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment through the Twenty-First Amendment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prohibition, specifically through the Eighteenth Amendment, accomplished several significant changes in American society. It made the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol illegal in the United States. Contrary to directly promoting women’s rights and equality, it was influenced in part by women's groups like the Women's Christian Temperance Union who linked alcohol consumption with societal problems. Prohibition ultimately led to the Twenty-First Amendment, which repealed the Eighteenth Amendment. It marked the end of national prohibition but not necessarily the temperance movement itself. Additionally, Prohibition led to a significant increase in crime and corruption as the demand for alcohol remained, giving rise to criminal activities such as bootlegging and the establishment of speakeasies
