Prohibition Party
The Prohibition Party is a political party in the United States that was established in 1869. Its main political platform is the prohibition of alcohol. The party advocates for the complete legal prohibition of the manufacture, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages.
History[edit]
The Prohibition Party was founded in 1869 in the state of Ohio. Its formation was largely a response to the growing problem of alcoholism and the social issues associated with it in the United States. The party's first presidential candidate, James Black, ran for office in 1872.
Political Platform[edit]
The Prohibition Party's main goal is the complete prohibition of alcohol. The party believes that alcohol is the root cause of many societal problems, including domestic violence and crime. In addition to its stance on alcohol, the party also supports a variety of conservative and progressive social issues.
Influence and Impact[edit]
Despite its relatively small size, the Prohibition Party has had a significant impact on American politics. It was the first party to have a woman, Susanna M. Salter, as a candidate for president, in 1884. The party also played a key role in the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, which established Prohibition in the United States.
Notable Members[edit]
Notable members of the Prohibition Party include Neal Dow, who was known as the "Napoleon of Temperance", and John St. John, who was the party's presidential candidate in 1884.
