Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Eighteenth Amendment (prohibition of alcohol) was strongly supported by rural Protestants, who saw alcohol as a sin and a threat to family values. They believed that prohibition would help maintain moral order and reduce crime and domestic violence. Middle-class progressives, on the other hand, initially supported prohibition but later became disillusioned with its negative effects on society. Urban workers and immigrants generally opposed prohibition. Catholics were divided in their support for prohibition, with some groups strongly supporting it and others opposing it.
