Best Answer

Cultural conflict between existing citizens and newer immigrants from eastern and southern Europe (heavily Catholics and Jews), nativism, strong support from the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), rural-urban antagonisms, the power of the Woman's Christian Union (WCTU), a growing feminism movement, and the desire of the Progressive movement to create a perfect society through social engineering and control all contributed to the imposition of National Prohibition in 1920.
