Photo: US Postal Service. Pluto - Explored! In 2006, NASA placed a 29-cent 1991 Pluto: Not Yet Explored stamp in the New Horizons spacecraft. In 2015 the spacecraft carried the stamp on its history-making mission to Pluto and beyond.
The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol (i.e. the beginning of Prohibition). It was ratified on January 16, 1919 and repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
The 18th Amendment established the Prohibition of intoxicating (alcoholic) beverages in the US, but the Volstead Act was necessary to define what the amendment meant by âintoxicatingâ and it gave the government the legal right to enforce the law.he exhibit ran from October 27, 2005 until April 10, 2006. As part of my research I wrote a short history of the passage of the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act which I present here in the hopes that it may be useful. I also wrote a page on the history of Prohibition in Virginia.
