AP US History question:

Analyze the origins and outcomes of the intense cultural conflicts of the 1920s. In your response, focus on TWO of the following: Immigration, Prohibition, Religion.

The greatest social shifts during this time in the United States were caused by the Second Great Awakening, which was a religious revival that sought in part to curb immigration. This of course led to calls for prohibition, because it was believed that mostly immigrants were the heavy drinkers.
