Prohibition A group of men in suits and hats march in an anti-prohibition parade in New York, holding large placards with protest messages and small American flags. Prohibition Party A poster for the Prohibition Party, 1888.Prohibition, as the extreme wing of the temperance movement, is one of the hallowed reforms from the 1840s. As the wave of state prohibition laws passed in the 1850s began to be repealed, prohibition agitators began to organize formally; the Prohibition Party founded in 1869 and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of 1874 represented the two strategic approaches. When a second wave of state prohibition in the 1880s receded, both were superseded by the Anti-Saloon League, founded in 1893.
