“Taverns, Temperance, Teetotalers, and Tommy Guns: The Long History of Prohibition”

Recorded March 10, 2021 via Zoom. Hosted by the Weston Historical Society: https://www.westonhistoricalsociety.org/ Guest presenters: Dr. Francis Coan and Professor Stephen McGrath Learn about the ubiquity of alcohol consumption in early America, the rise and influence of the temperance movement during the nineteenth century, and the progressive roots of Prohibition. Prohibition was one facet of old-stock American, rural, Protestant rule in the 1920’s that brought about severe restrictions on immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe, the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, and the rise of organized crime. By the election of Franklin Roosevelt in 1932, the nation acknowledged prohibition to have been a colossal failure.
