to make women more economically independent
Some women did not want to participate in the women's suffrage movement because they felt they were too emotional to make educated decisions and that if they became involved in politics, they would stop marrying, having children, and the human race might eventually become extinct.
Ameoboid movement is the movement of the endoplasm and ectoplasm to form a pseudopodia to make the amoeba mobile.
It would make them misfit for work
I suppose yes during the progressive era, considering the women's suffrage movement. Mostly those involved during the industrialization of America already had the right to vote.
who lead the movement to make alcohol illegal
Both the Prohibition movement and the women's suffrage movement grew during World War 1. The former aimed to make alcohol illegal and the latter aimed to give women the right to vote.
Frances Willard & Carrie Nation
The Women's Christian Temperance Movement (WCT) was a group of women in the early 1900's attempting to make the consumption, sale, or making of alcohol illegal. It was founded by Carry Nation who was very anti-immigrant. At the time Irish were the number one immigrants in america bringing there drinking habits with them. Nation and her followers would walk into bars and saloons with an axe and completely destroy the whole place while reading verses from the bible. From 1900-1917, 1/2 of all US States prohibited alcohol. By 1920, 100% of all states adapted the 18th amendment making alcohol illegal. It would remain illegal until 1933 when it was made legal again by the 21st amendment.
Alcohol.
Frances Willard lived from 1839-1898. She was very active in America's women's suffrage movement, trying to get women the right to vote and expanding their opportunities in society. But she is best known for her work in the temperance movement: she was the founder of the WCTU (Women's Christian Temperance Union), an organization whose main goal was to ban alcohol. It was her belief that drinking was the cause of most of the social problems in the United States, and her organization actively campaigned to close saloons (as bars used to be called) and to make it illegal to drink alcoholic beverages. She was a major influence in the ultimate passage of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, making alcohol illegal-- the so-called Prohibition amendment.
People are allowed to make alcohol for their own consumption but not for sale. So yes moonshine is illegal to sell.
To decrease social problemsApex
Alcohol and the 21st amendment reversed this.
Alcohol use.
Rural Protestants, through the Anti-Saloon League, started the movement on the basis that it was publicly immoral and unhealthy. Prohibition, which did not make private possession and consumption illegal, become unpopular by 1933 and was finally repealed December 1933.
Alcohol was banned during this time in the United States. Also referred to as "Prohibition".
