Volstead Act (1919)

World History
  • US federal Prohibition Act, enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment, banning the manufacture, distribution, and sale of alcohol. The Act was devised by the Anti-Saloon League counsel Wayne Wheeler but named after Congressman Andrew Volstead of Minnesota. It proscribed beer and wine as well as distilled spirits, to the surprise of those moderate prohibitionists who wanted the prohibition of spirits only. It became void by the passage of the Twenty-first Amendment in 1933.
