Finally, all hail the Twenty-First Amendment! This amendment repeals the Eighteenth. After 13 long years, the Noble Experiment has ended. Congress decided to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment because they realized that the crime, suicide, and violence rate has increased, plus the fact that they used up double the amount of the initial money to enforce prohibition. It feels as if the nation has let out a long breath. I'm so glad I can go back to my regular drinking habits. The Twenty-First Amendment not only abolishes prohibition, but it also allows individual states to regulate their own liquor laws. I am grateful to Roosevelt, who declared that tax will be low on liquor and foreign liquor is allowed.I am also grateful to the Woman's Organization for National Prohibition Reform led by Mrs. Charles Sabin, who pushed the repeal movement. They believed that National Prohibition was wrong and interfered with the lives of an American. Praise "Sabin's Women".
National Prohibition... Is Over.
