 eligious sects and denominations\, and especially Methodists\, became acti
 ve in the temperance movement. Women were especially influential.<br />&nb
 sp\;<br />The advocates of prohibition had argued that banning sales of al
 cohol would reduce criminal activity\, it in fact directly contributed to 
 the rise of organized crime. After the Eighteenth Amendment went into forc
 e\, bootlegging\, the illegal distillation\, and sale of alcoholic beverag
 es\, became widespread.&nbsp\;Prohibition was a social experiment that had
  nurtured the very ills that it sought to reduce like criminal activity\, 
 public corruption\, and a casual disregard for the rule of law.</p>\n<p>At
