"In 1733, the Georgia colony had the dubious distinction of being the first colony to establish a prohibition edict."

Doublethink, newspeak, short term memory loss and now lack of reading comprehension. What next?

Show where "Local prohibitions continued around America for centuries."
The Georgia colony prohibition didn't last ten years, much less centuries.
Cite some more local prohibitions and their longevity, not limitations.

Even your much vaunted link states...
The organized temperance societies set legislators into motion to pass prohibitionary laws. Thanks at least in part to the presence and activities of these societies, the Oregon Territory enacted the first prohibition law in 1843, but it was repealed in 1848. Maine was the first state to have a prohibition law in 1846, but this legislation was defeated several times throughout the next decade. Delaware was the next state to enact a prohibition law, followed by New Hampshire, Vermont, and Michigan. At the end of the 19th century, six states carried prohibition laws.
What happened between 1733 and 1846? I don't count 1843 'cause Oregon was still only a territory.

From 1750 to 1870, there began a call for temperance.
Temperance, not prohibition, though some prohibition was enacted!
