During the Prohibition era, which lasted from 1920 to 1934, America saw for the first time a dark and calamitous side of itself which was ironically manifested by the decision to outlaw alcohol in America.

The reason for the nationwide division in beliefs and ideology during the Prohibition era was due to the fact that the American goverment gave no reason for Americans to trust it and have faith in it and also due to the constant temptation to break the law and perchance become a larger-than-life figure in society.

The high level of overall public displeasure in America during the Prohibition era was not due to the one simple fact that alcohol was outlawed, but rather a combination of calamitous govermental failure and constant temptation to break the law and perchance become a larger-than-life figure in society.

The rise in criminal organization and activity during the Prohibition era was not an ironic effect because the lack of faith and enforcement that the goverment put into the Volstead act was improportional to criminal organization and activity; as one suffered, the other thrived.
