During the 19th century, alcoholism, family violence, and saloon-based political corruption prompted activists, led by pietistic Protestants, to end the alcoholic beverage trade to cure the ill society and weaken the political opposition.

Prohibition supporters, called 'drys', presented it as a victory for public morals and health.
