As the "U.S. is voted dry," by the 18th amendment, different people had different opinions on this act. Mostly mothers, thought that this was the start of a new beginning. If their children are prohibited alcohol in their life, it could prevent many situations in their lives, like fights and drunkenness. The mothers also hoped that with this prohibition, men would be able to treat women more appropriately, other than men who become drunk and abuse their wives. Although, their plans did not go the way they seemed. Bootleggers, and speakeasies appeared from the dark. People still had the strong desire to get alcohol, anyway possible, even if it was illegal. Bootleggers, sold and distributed the alcohol illicitly, and the speakeasies were illicit liquor store.

People didn't care for the enacted amendment, but since they kind of had a restriction on all alcohol, it made the government seem flimsy, since they couldn't really hold people back. People lost hope in the government, and in the end prohibition was released and alcohol was one again free.
