Those against prohibition believed it hurt their culture and would take away rights. 

Prohibition was opposed by many new immigrant groups where drinking was a part of their culture and their religion (especially Catholics). It was targeted at lower classes as well taking away the one leisure activity many of them could afford--going to the bar. Owners of alcohol industries argued it would hurt the economy taking away the tax on alcohol and the government didn't have the right to take away the drink.

disa [49]

Answer:

Many colonies were economically more developed than they likely would have been had they not bee colonized. An example of this is India, a country which likely wouldn't be in the economic position it is today if it weren't for advances made under British rule. India would likely be even less developed than it is today and would probably be split into several if not many smaller nations/kingdoms.
