"Chronology of Prohibition"

This is a newspaper article that was written during the time of Prohibition.  It was pretty much the dea lbreaker for me in determining that the Temperance Movement was actually successful.  I just think it says a lot that the majority of the country chose to live in areas where it was illegal to sell alcohol.  The movement and can educate the public all it wants, but that does not necessarily mean that the public will necessary choose a temperance lifestyle, what I guess I would call it. And this by no means suggests that all of these people chose to abstain from alcohol, but they certainly did recognize its negative effects, and they chose to live in areas where drinking was likely reduced, among likeminded individuals.
