About this title

Synopsis

Prohibition is presented as a defining national issue and a moral, legal remedy with far-reaching consequences.

This edition examines the movement against the liquor traffic, its arguments, and the different paths supporters pursue—from local options to constitutional amendments—in a clear, historical frame.

The book surveys how prohibition has grown into a nationwide debate, the roles of churches, presses, and reformers, and the practical realities of enforcing such a policy. It argues that the core remedy is unconditional prohibition by law and explains why other approaches are seen as imperfect or temporary.

• Learn the five forms of prohibition and how they spread across states and communities.
• Explore the arguments for national prohibition and the political dynamics it encounters.
• Understand the influence of religious and reform groups, plus the role of the press and pulpit.
• See why supporters view prohibition as essential for public welfare and national future.

Ideal for readers interested in the history of social reform, temperance movements, or how public policy shapes culture and law.
