Prohibition and its unintended consequences:

during the prohibition era the Mob would sell Alcohol so the 18th Amendment, ratified in 1919 and enforced by the Volstead Act, outlawed the production, sale, and transportation of alcohol in the United States. But this only fueled Al Capone's illegal alcohol selling, raising crime and bootlegging.
