Alcohol ban.
Prohibition in the United States (sometimes referred to as the Noble Experiment)[1] was a national ban on the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol, in place from 1920 to 1933.[2] The ban was mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and the Volstead Actset down the rules for enforcing the ban, as well as defining which "intoxicating liquors" were prohibited. Prohibition ended with the ratification of theTwenty-first Amendment, which repealed the Eighteenth Amendment, on December 5, 1933.

During 1920s' Prohibition, moonshine, also known as "hooch" and "white lightning," was illegally produced, especially in the southern states and Appalachia. Moonshine, home produced alcohol or whiskey, used a still for distillation. Producers and smugglers usually worked by "moonshine" to avoid detection. Initially, the Internal Revenue Service enforced 1920s' Prohibition, and agents who destroyed stills were known as "revenuers."
