The Temperance Movement began in the early 1800's as a part of a religious movement to abstain from the use of alcohol.  Over the years this movement grew into legislative action which brought into existance the 18th Amendment to the Constition being ratified in 1919, which ushered in the era of Prohibition which lasted until 1933.

In this episode I explore some of the early Temperance movement in Battle Creek, Michigan as well as some stories of Prohibition.
