ANTI-IMMIGRANT FEELING Many people insisted that buying beer meant lining pockets of brewers in Germany. Many immigrant groups were also associated (perhaps unfairly) with alcohol (e.g.German, Irish and Italians). It has been argued that prohibition was partly influenced by the growing hostility to new immigrants WW1 XENOPHOBIA War time hysteria against all things foreign linked prohibition to patriotism. Prohibitionist propaganda characterized the liquor industry as foreign-controlled and pointed out that German-Americans owned and managed many of the nation's breweries. WW1 & GOVT During WWI federal government became more powerful as it took over railroads and factories, passed a conscription act, and curtailed liberty and free speech. Many Americans viewed the federal government as the upholder of American morality, temperance, and sobriety. To some federal government should limit individual freedoms for the sake of higher social responsibilities. PRECEDENTS SET There had been other anti-alcohol campaigns. The Maine Law of 1851, prohibited the manufacture and sale of liquors within the state of Maine. By 1855, 13 states had adopted similar legislation. During the Civil War, the federal government prohibited alcohol in the Union Army to ration grain. Why was prohibition passed?

MEDICAL Started to realise that alcohol damaged health Many American men suffered from Sclerosis, Many children fought their lives without their fathers, which led to families’ financial problems. POLITICAL Many votes were won in rural areas because politicians promised prohibition, which helped those politicians to win the election. Women got the vote shortly after the 18 th Amendment had passed. The campaign for female suffrage and prohibition were closely linked. ECONOMIC Many labourers got drunk and so they could not perform the job properly. Absence from work each week was very high, so the company was less efficient. The company could not afford to produce the same products in the time that they should and the industrialists were not satisfied. SOCIAL Husbands were spending their family’s saving on alcohol instead of essentials. It was believed this led to domestic abuse and ultimately divorce. The problem pressurised women the most, therefore they set up the anti- saloon groups. Why was prohibition passed?
