The Eighteenth Amendment outlawed alcoholic beverages across the country after January, 1920. This was probably the last successful evangelical crusade for a moral America. William Jennings Bryan wrote that those who labored for prohibition "are helping to create conditions which will bring the highest good to the greatest number, … for it is not injustice to any man to refuse him permission to enrich himself by injuring his fellowmen."
