Today we read about the Prohibition and Temperance movements in Kansas History. Both these reform movements have deep roots in our state. Kansas was the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of alcohol. 38 years before the rest of the nation!
One of the reformers, Carry Nation, took action into her own hands. Driven by religious beliefs as well as a personal loss to alcoholism, Carry destroyed bars and saloons by smashing them with a hatchet.
Driving the point home today, we made memes of Carry Nation. All of them were excellent and reflected an understanding of the reform movement and its concerns. Also, the actions of Carry Nation were immortalized in what has to be the greatest collection of Prohibition memes ever. Below are some of the highlights. Enjoy.
