The American attempt to restrict the manufacturing and consumption of alcohol was known as Prohibition.
The dry crusade, sometimes known as the prohibition campaign, persisted throughout the 1840s, led by pietistic religious groups, particularly the Methodists. The temperance movement expanded its scope from abstinence to encompass all practises and institutions connected to alcohol intake in the late 19th century.
The first state prohibition statute was approved in Maine in 1846, and the Prohibition Party was founded in 1869. The appeal for prohibition was first made in the early 19th century primarily as a religious movement.
The National Prohibition Act, introduced by Congress in October 1919, set out rules for the federal government's implementation of Prohibition. The measure was popularly referred to as the Volstead Act and was supported by Minnesota's Representative Andrew Volstead, who served as the head of the House Judiciary Committee.
