Before the prohibition, every state but Maryland had already passed a law prohibiting the use of alcohol. This is because most Marylanders were against the law, from the low to the high classes. Though some small towns and a few citizens elsewhere supported the prohibition, Baltimore, the state's most populated city, and a few other large cities were against it, keeping the law from winning over the state. The large diversity of Maryland's population also kept the law from succeeding. Though Maryland is largely ignored when the Prohibition is brought up, it played a key part in repealing the Eighteenth Amendment.
