What was the goal of the 18th amendment

The Eighteenth Amendment (Amendment XVIII) of the United States Constitution effectively established the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States by declaring the production, transport, and sale of alcohol (though not the consumption or private possession) illegal.

So basically people were not allowed to privatley sale these kind of products it was and is still considered illegal.

Abraham lincoln gave his 2nd inaugural address on march 4, 1865.-as lincoln prepared to speak, the civil war was drawing to a close.
