Challenge: Have Prohibition get passed in the USA by the late 1850s, instead of in 1918.
You would need an earlier Civil War. The notion that the Federal government could meddle in social policy on that scale is literally inconceivable prior to the ACW.
Maine outlawed alcohol in 1850 OTL. Bills came within a hair's breadth of passing in many other northern states (failed by 1 vote in NY, vetoed by the governor in Connecticut, etc). Very modest changes would suffice to see alcohol illegal in the North. But there was no equivalent movement in the South, and this will be universally understood as a State matter rather than a national one without an example like Reconstruction to pave the way.
