Carry A. Nation was the member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union best known for attacking saloons and other drinking establishments with a hatchet.
In the late 1800s Kansas adopted a constitutional amendment prohibiting the production or sale of alcoholic beverage except for medicinal purposes. However, the law was widely ignored and Nation began agitating for its enforcement. Her methods escalated from simple protests such as greeting bartenders with pointed remarks like "Good morning, destroyer of men's souls," to standing outside saloons with another member of the WCTU praying loudly and singing hymns.
Frustrated with her lack of success, she began her practice of attacking saloons with a hatchet. Her violent approach achieved results and in a matter of months did more to enforce prohibition than churches and other groups were able to accomplish. She even invaded the chambers of the Governor of Kansas. Between 1900 and 1910, she was arrested 30 times for "hatchetations," as she called them.
Carry Nation was born in 1846 and died in 1911.
