The prohibition was an effort to try to curb America’s desire to drink alcoholic beverages. However it was not successful and it only created a crime wave including dramatic growth in organized crime. Different organized crimes operated their own alcohol distilleries and bribed local police and politicians to look the other way. With so much bribery and corruption, there was a considerable decrease in the respect for law enforcement.
With the arrival of the Democratic Party to the White House in March 1933 led by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the failed experiment in Prohibition officially ended. Due to this, the government was able to acquire a lot of tax revenues earned from alcohol production and sales, there were creation of jobs due to rise of distillation plants, and the decreased costs of law enforcement.
