The Prohibition Party is a political party in the United States that was founded in 1869. Its main goal is to promote the prohibition of alcohol, advocating for laws that restrict or ban the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The party emerged in response to the social issues associated with alcohol use and aimed to create a sober society. Throughout its history, the Prohibition Party has participated in various elections, often focusing on moral and social reforms. Although it has never won a major election, it played a significant role in the eventual passage of the 18th Amendment, which established national prohibition in 1920.
