In 1838, the state of Massachusetts passed a temperance law banning the sale of spirits in less than 15-gallon quantities; though the law was repealed two years later, it set a precedent for such legislation. Maine passed the first state prohibition laws in 1846, followed by a stricter law in 1851. A number of other states had followed suit by the time the Civil War began in 1861.
Answer: ETHNOCENTRISM
Explanation: The word "ethnocentrism", is derived from the Greek word ethnos meaning "nation, people, or cultural grouping" and the Latin word centric meaning "center"
Ethnocentrism can be defined as the act of judging another culture from the perspective of one's own adoptive ethnic culture.
This is largely done based on the belief that one's own cultural standard and values are superior.
