Reformers during the progressive era direct much of their energy toward political issues but they also crusade on behalf of what they term moral issues, like the campaign to eliminate alcohol from the national scene. Prohibition is a clear example of how religious values influence public policy. In 1917, progressive advocates of prohibition succeed in getting Congress to support a constitutional amendment banning the sale and manufacture of alcoholic beverages. Two years later the 18th amendment is ratified by every state except Connecticut and Rhode Island. It impacts but does not prevent drinking, and repeal efforts start immediately.
