Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which animal served as the official mascot of the Prohibition Party?"
...Prohibition Party was a U.S. political party that opposed the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other intoxicants. Its mascot was the camel, a symbol chosen by famed political cartoonist Thomas Nast, who also created the Democratic donkey and Republican elephant. The camel was a fitting emblem for a movement promoting abstinence, as the animal is famously capable of going long periods without drinking. Although the Prohibition Party never won a presidential election, it helped pave the way for national Prohibition in the United States.
