Prohibition was the sale and transportation of liquor in America. Prohibition increased illegal production and sale of liquor, and this made a rapid amount of speakeasies. Congress adopted a resolution proposing a 21st Amendment to the Constitution that would repeal the 18th. The 18th amendment is, "After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited."
