−
Prohibition of the manufacture and sale of alcohol was one of the main Progressive causes at the local, state and national level. It achieved national success with the passage of the 18th Amendment by Congress in late 1917, and the ratification by three-fourths of the states in 1919. It took effect in 1920, and was repealed in 1933.  Evangelical church groups, especially methodists and Baptists, were the main activists in favor of prohibition.  They were mobilized by the highly effective [[Anti-Saloon League]].
