The Great Depression caused many voters to switch to the Democratic Party, which took control of the Presidency (through FDR) and Congress in 1932.  After winning control of Congress and the White House, the Democrats ended Prohibition by passing an amendment to repeal it.  They began enacting many new laws and programs to try to generate jobs.
