    Grizzly, it was the repeal of the alcohol prohibition. In the US, from 1920-1933, alcohol was illegal to make, sell, buy, transport, and consume. The 18th amendment to the US Constitution enacted prohibition. The 21st amendment repealed it and set the legal drinking age at twenty-one-years-of-age.

    Prohibition was spearheaded by religious zealots and was the number one contributor to the violence and criminality that plagued America during the "roaring 20's."

    Eliot Ness was an FBI agent whosought to eradicate illegal alcohol.
