Clearly, Prohibition was not popular among many sectors of American society, nor was it successful at curing the social ills it targeted. But how, exactly, did it fail as a law of the land? Read more about temperance and prohibition and about the history of Prohibition. Then write a 100 to 150-word response on why you think Prohibition was finally repealed.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Prohibition generated more problems than the solutions that were originally planned.

The lesson was a tough one to learn, and teh American people hope these mistakes won't repeat again.

The federal government was so naive in thinking that Prohibition was the ideal solution. Probably, it was the easy way for it to accept the demands of teh Christian society of the time.

Nevertheless, the results were completely different. Prohibition fostered mafia in America. Licor started to sold in illegal ways, in illegal places, and this created an underground industry that produced millions of dollars behind legality.

Many clans were formed, criminals sprouted, and their leaders began to control important parts of large cities. Police had to intervene but the cost was high.

We hope that the government and society had learned the lesson. Prohibition, per se, has never been a real solution.
