You are from a wealthy Protestant family, involved in manufacturing. Your family has been in the United States for several generations. You would like to see limits or an outright ban on alcohol consumption. To which political party do you belong in the late 1800's?

The person in this example belonged to the Republican Party.

Explanation:

Since its founding, the Republican Party has been a faithful representative of the Protestant traditions of the northern United States, with great representation in New England and the nation's most traditional, wealthy, and progressive cities (the latter condition was gradually lost from 1932, when the Republican Party began to turn towards conservatism, exchanging positions with the Democratic Party).

Furthermore, this party was one of the promoters of the Temperance Movement, whose final objective was the prohibition of alcohol consumption in the American territory. In fact, the Republican Party was the main promoter of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act, which were the norms that implemented the Prohibition between 1920 and 1933.

can you tell me what is it

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
