Detailed explanation-1: -On December 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment was ratified, as announced in this proclamation from President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment of January 16, 1919, ending the increasingly unpopular nationwide prohibition of alcohol.
Detailed explanation-2: -TWENTY-FIRST AMENDMENT The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
Detailed explanation-3: -Congress first proposed the 21st Amendment in February 1933, and it took the unusual method of calling for state conventions to vote on the amendment, instead of submitting it to state legislatures.
Detailed explanation-4: -The beginning of the Great Depression after the stock market crash of 1929 under Hoover, and the prospect of new jobs and tax revenue from legalized alcohol triggered a groundswell of political support for repeal, and for Roosevelt.
