Which animal served as the official mascot of the Prohibition Party in the United States?
Goat
Moose
Camel
Wolf
Fact: The Prohibition Party, founded in 1869 to advocate for the outlawing of alcohol, chose the camel as its mascot. The animal symbolized temperance and endurance — qualities associated with abstaining from alcohol, since camels can go long periods without drinking water. While the Republican and Democratic parties are known for their elephant and donkey symbols, the Prohibition Party’s choice of a camel reflected its moral and religious focus on sobriety and self-discipline during the height of the temperance movement in America.
