Prior to the 20th century, there had never been national attempt to restrict alcohol production in the America. However, by the end of that century, various groups started pushing for prohibition. Their call was finally heard in 1917 when the Senate proposed an amendment to the constitution. Prohibition went into effect in January of 1920 but this caused many problems. For instance, many people died trying to make alcohol substitutes while others got involved in organized crime. In this WatchMojo.com video, we take a look at the history of Prohibition in the U.S. (4:56)

How did author Gabrielle Zevin find inspiration in New York City for ALL THESE THINGS I'VE DONE? Take a walk around NYC with Gabrielle and learn more about her new book!
In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family. (2:05)
