Go Hard or Go Home: The Mission of Carrie Nation
How far would you go to enforce the law? Probably not as far as “Saloon-wrecker” Carrie/Carry Nation! Nation became a strong proponent for the temperance movement following the death of her first husband to alcohol. To enforce the local prohibition laws, she took matters into her own hands, terrorizing saloons with rocks before upgrading to a hatchet. Join us today as Briana teaches us about “Hatchet Granny” and the effect this movement had on the United States as a whole.
