Carr A. Nation was a woman who was against Alcoholism because of her first and short marriage to an alcoholic. She was a member of the temperance movement and expressed her views towards alcohol by "smashing up" bars with a hatchet in one hand and a bible in the other. Most people thought she was insane because she continued showing her opinion even after being arrested and beaten for smashing saloons. She described herself as " a bulldog running along at the feet of Jesus, barking at what He doesn't like. She believed that drinking and drunkenness what the cause for many problems in society.Her actions against drinking helped to pass the Eighteenth Amendment which banne d the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol.
