What were the two states that never ratified the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) to the US Constitution?

Congress voted for Prohibition in the end of 1917. The amendment got the necessary votes in both houses of Congress. Even then, the wets were confident that the Eighteenth Amendment would not be ratified by the thirty-six necessary states in the limited time of seven years. However, much to the people’s surprise, the amendment was ratified in only thirteen months. Only Connecticut and Rhode Island did not ratify it. http://www.albalagh.net/kids/history/prohibition.shtml Connecticut and Rhode Island did not ratify the 18th amendment of prohibition. http://myabbreviate.com/WARP%20folder/WARP%20set/00cens.htm Found a couple more, don’t know how reliable the sites are. South Carolina did not ratify the 18th Amendment. http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03/n1487/a01.html Montana did not ratify Prohibition, nor did Montana law enforcement enforce Prohibition within Montana’s borders.
