During the 1920s, the two primary groups that fought for prohibition were the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and the Anti-Saloon League (ASL). The WCTU, primarily composed of women, advocated for temperance and saw prohibition as a means to protect families and improve society. The ASL, focused on legal and political action, sought to eliminate alcohol consumption, framing it as a moral and social issue. Together, these groups played a crucial role in the passage of the 18th Amendment, which established prohibition in the United States.
