Many of the local and the state christians associations felt that women should have the rights, the same as men. For example, the women 's christian association and the anabaptist marched on Washington D.C. to protest the extreme usage of alcohol, because Alcoholism was the cause of many of the killings, the abusiveness of women and children, and job loss. Also, alcoholism was prevalent in the returning military men after World War I. They binded together and caused congress to pass the volstead act banning the sale, distribution, and the consumption of Alcoholic Beverages in the early 1920s. Many of the western states and the states in the middle part of the United States did not entirely enforce the law. But after a few years, it was repealed
