Prohibition began with the members of temperance movements, mainly Christians, who agreed not to drink alcohol since they saw that it did damage to family life and they wanted to stop it. These were mostly made up of two main movements called the Anti-Saloon League and the Women's Christian Temperance Union. These movements were so strong in some states that they persuaded the government to ban alcohol within the state. Soon enough, the campaign gathered pace and within several years, it became a national campaign to ban alcohol throughout the whole country.
It started because Evengelicals thought it would be a good idea to sober America. They thought that alcohol was the main problem to many of the things that were happening (family abuse, accidents at work, violence in general etc.) Well im sure the government learned quite the lesson to think twice before Prohibiting something again...judging from the repracussions...
