A quick definition of Volstead Act:

The Volstead Act was a law made in 1919 that said people couldn't make, sell, or move alcohol. This law was cancelled in 1933 when another law was made that said people could have alcohol again.

A more thorough explanation:

The Volstead Act was a law passed by the United States Congress in 1919. Its purpose was to make it illegal to make, sell, or transport alcohol in the United States.

For example, if someone was caught making moonshine in their backyard, they could be arrested and charged with breaking the Volstead Act. Similarly, if a bar owner was caught selling alcohol to customers, they could also be arrested and charged.

The Volstead Act was in effect for 14 years, until it was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933. This amendment made it legal to make, sell, and transport alcohol once again.

The Volstead Act was a controversial law, and many people did not agree with it. Some people believed that it was a violation of their personal freedom, while others believed that it was necessary to protect society from the negative effects of alcohol.
