The correct answer is Woman’s Christian Temperance Union
The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) indeed played a significant role in the temperance movement and was influential in advocating for prohibition in the United States. While both the WCTU and the Anti-Saloon League were instrumental in the push for Prohibition, the WCTU not only focused on the legal aspects but also addressed social issues connected to alcohol consumption, leveraging the involvement of women and their roles in society at the time.
Your assertion highlights the importance of the WCTU in mobilizing grassroots activism and promoting a broad social reform agenda, which certainly contributed substantially to the movement for the prohibition of alcohol. Thank you for the clarification!
