Passage 1 Between World War I and World War II, the lives of the majority of Americans underwent dramatic transformations. Political changes also reshaped American life: after years of struggling for suffrage, women finally won the right to vote in 1919 (the Nineteenth Amendment was officially ratified in 1920). Also in 1919, Congress enacted the Eighteenth Amendment, beginning the era of Prohibition by outlawing "the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors." This law caused a widespread illegal trade in alcohol; many historians believe that the increase in organized crime during Prohibition was a direct result of the new opportunities for illegal moneymaking provided by the Eighteenth Amendment. Prohibition, also known as the Volstead Act, was repealed in 1933, in part because politicians thought that reviving the liquor industry might provide jobs for the unemployed. Passage 2 During the 1920s, following the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act which implemented Prohibition, the American underworld, always on the lookout for easy money, turned to the distribution of illegal liquor. Although initially public sentiment appeared to favor Prohibition particularly in midwestern America where the idea of "dry" communities was embraced by the churches and politicians, the reality was that a sufficiently large segment of the population did not want to be told what to do, especially when it meant that they had to relinquish the right to have a drink of liquor. Even law-abiding citizens for whom liquor was a part of their cultural mores or who were accustomed to drinking in social situations began to break the law and to pay bootleggers for the privilege. 1.
