Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This gripping text propels you through the rich history of the temperance movement in Massachusetts from the mid 19th century to the early 20th century. A striking historical analysis, this book begins by examining scripture to provide context for the highly emotional debate over the morality of alcohol. It argues that the temperance movement, which sought to ban the sale of alcohol in the wake of urban ills and poverty, only served to suppress the problem by driving it into the shadows. The author posits that only through justice, kindness, and charity could reform take root and offers illustrative examples and arguments. This book is essential reading for scholars of the era and anyone interested in the enduring question of temperance and its complexities.
