Twenty-first+Amendment



The Twenty-first Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America was passed by Congress in February of 1933. The bill repealed the Eighteenth Amendment, Prohibition, allowing all alcoholic goods to be to sold, purchased and consumed. The control of alcohol was again in the hands of the states, though eight of them chose to continue the liquor sale ban. While some people at the time regretted the appeal, President Hoover being one of them, most were far more than pleased with it.
