Welcome to Julia and Kacy's podcast, "Way Back When!" Today we discuss Progressive Labor Unions!

In our podcast we discuss the development and progress of the Temperance movement in America during the 1900s. The Temperance movement’s main goal was to limit/eliminate the use of alcohol from America. The Anti-Saloon League played a large role in getting the 18th amendment passed. The ASL would send professional speech makers into the public to educate people about the dangers of alcohol and the benefits of prohibition. A shocking number of people agreed with the ASL. From southern whites to black civil rights leaders, from working class people to the country’s richest, everyone seemed to agree that prohibition was the way to go. Surprisingly, despite all the public approval, many people continued to drink alcohol after the passing of the 18th amendment, which banned production and transportation of all alcoholic drinks. Congress hired someone during this period to deliver alcohol to their offices. We use this information do draw parallels to modern day substance control issues.
