The 18th amendment or Prohibition amendment, was as a result of the temperance movement. During the temperance movement, various religious leaders condemned alcohol and drunkenness as the root of all problems in society. To be rid of them, they argued, alcohol must be done away with, spurred on by the creation of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
Prohibition was further popularized by political figures, as well as the further condemnation of drinking by Protestants, Methodists, Southern Baptists, Presbyterians, and a myriad of other denominations, who urged husbands and fathers to spend less time in the saloons and more time at home with the children. Eventually, the hot political issue mustered enough force to pass with ratification in 36 of the 48 states. This motion, however, prompted the havoc that ensued with the coming of the Roaring Twenties (as referenced by F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby), and was later repealed with the 21st amendment.
