Answer: Some people of the US did not like the effect that liquor is having on their family and started protesting. More people join overtime and there were some new taxes passed to make up for the loss of the money gain by alcohol tax for the government. Since alcohol tax was a big amount of the government budget. The passing of the amendment made all alcoholic item purchase illegal, unless for religious reasons. Many that support this amendment believed that it will only restrict the use of alcohol not ban it. This allowed gangs to have another source of power because of the amount of people still wanting alcohol and this also allowed for a lot of people to take up making their own alcohol.
