Many Americans supported Prohibition in the early 20th century due to concerns about the social and moral consequences of alcohol consumption, including crime, domestic violence, and public disorder. The temperance movement, which gained momentum through religious and social reform groups, argued that banning alcohol would lead to a healthier, more virtuous society. Additionally, some viewed Prohibition as a way to reduce poverty and improve the lives of working-class families. Economic factors, such as the belief that alcohol consumption was detrimental to productivity, also played a role in garnering support for the movement.
