What were the people called who wanted prohibition?

The people who advocated for prohibition in the United States were primarily known as "prohibitionists." This movement included various groups, most notably the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and the Anti-Saloon League. They believed that banning alcohol would reduce crime, improve social conditions, and promote moral values. Their efforts ultimately led to the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1920, which established prohibition.
