Pictured: The 1892 National Prohibition ConventionIn 1919, the 18th amendment was ratified, prohibiting the transportation and sale of alcohol in the United States. While prohibitionists (known as “dries”) applauded its ratification, others (known as “wets”) were not as pleased. The 21st amendment, ratified in 1933, would repeal it. Thanks to the repeal of the 21st amendment, our intern Maria, who regularly updates our Tumblr page, can celebrate her 21st birthday in style. Happy birthday to her!(Photo: Library of Congress) -- source link
