Temperence
an effort in the 1800s-1900s to limit or ban the production and consumption of alcohol due to alleged "impurity" it brought upon the US in the "eyes of god"
women
women would hold organized marches and public prayer for the "soul of america" and demand that bar employees/owners stop selling alcohol
these marches were banned in several big cities due to the disruption of traffic but i think it was just the municipal government's way of saying they were done with their nutty bs
ohioans
many ohioans participated in the temperance movement and some towns went as far as banning the substance altogether
-
in 1919, the 18th amendment went into effect, outlawing the production and consumption of alcohol. the ban remained in effect until 1933.
