Also, the prohibition didn't lower organized crime as expected, instead it fueled turf wars as gangs fought over liquor areas and speakeasies. When the prohibition was ended in 1933, people look back and realize that it failed to achieve the results that were expected.

He was taken to court for breaking the law by teaching the theory of evolution. It was called the trial of the century. In the end, he was found guilty and fined $100.
