How did debates over alcohol use, the teaching of evolution, immigration, anti-semitism, and racism evolve in the 1920s? apush?

Alcohol, immigration, antisemitism, and racism can be traced to industrialism and the large influx of immigrants coming into the country "taking jobs." Immigrants would often take jobs from Americans at a much lower pay. This led to the rise in racism and antisemitism. Many also feared the influx of immigrants would be people that "ate babies and performed human sacrifice."

Religion also plays a role. Many of the immigrants coming in were Catholic, Jewish, or anything other than Protestant. This stoked the fear that their children would be "corrupted" by these other religions. Religion was also a prominent behind the Temperance movement to ban alcohol.
