How did Prohibition affect America and What were speakeasies?

Prohibition, enacted through the 18th Amendment in 1920, led to the banning of alcohol production and sales in the United States, resulting in a surge of illegal activities, organized crime, and widespread disregard for the law. Speakeasies emerged as secret bars where people could illegally purchase and consume alcohol, often hidden behind unmarked doors or in basements.
