<u>Answer:</u> False
<u>Explanation:</u> The imposition of the 18th Amendment had more to do with social activism than with stereotypes.
Distilled and fermented liquors were brought from Europe for many reasons. Alcohol was considered healthy and medicinal, used for killing pain and soothing indigestion. It was also known as a curative and invigorating beverage. Some people even preferred drinking cider or beer instead of drinking water, since water in America was muddy and dirty.
However, drunkenness was condemned and punished, a signal of weakness. It was associated with domestic violence, family neglection, unemployment, and psychologic problems. In that scenario, a movement flourished defending moderation or temperance. Many leaders came up in different states, all of them influenced by Benjamin Rush’s tract of 1785. At first, those movements were small and segmented, but in 1825 the American Temperance Society was formed and unified many of those small groups. It had the support of both Catholic and Protestant churches and, as the years passed by, it split along two lines: radicals who defended total abstinence, and moderates who allowed some drinking. The Society continued pushing the states’ legislatures to enact statewide prohibition of alcohol, reasoning that such prohibition would decrease the number of unemployment and violence, at the same time that it would increase productivity. Because of this pressure, in 1919 the Eighteenth Amendment was established, declaring the production, transport, and sale of intoxicating liquors forbidden.
The 18th Amendment was repealed in 1933 mainly because of the profit that the government could have by taxing imported wines, gin, rum, and whiskey.
What question are you asking

The correct answer is:
Answers will vary. Most students might note that it was necessary for Jefferson to prove
that the Continental Congress presented a united front to the world in order to prove that
independence was the true goal of the colonies. Others may state that since each state
provided signers to the document, it was obvious that all thirteen colonies accepted it.
As to the question of whether the 13 colonies could have declared independence if they
weren’t unanimous, answers will vary. Most students might state that independence
would be difficult without the support of all thirteen colonies, but some might say
independence without consensus was still possible. For instance, colonies that objected
could be absorbed into Canada or find a way to peacefully co-exist with those that
seceded.
