The Problem(s) - The amount of alcohol consumed in the early 1800's was a problem. Alcohol was cheap to make and cheap to buy. Drunkenness caused violence in homes, and some people spent money on alcohol instead of food. People also lost their jobs, and their salaries. There were also many problems in Saloons. There was lots of violence and fights broke out. Many of the problems were blamed on alchohol.

= The Solution(s) - The **Eighteen Amendment**- Constitutional amendment outlawing alcohol. Some women went on large crusades. They lasted for several months and some people stopped drinking and began attending church again. This crusade soon formed the **Women's Christian Temperance Union**. They wanted no alcohol, drugs, prostitution, or violence. They educated people about the dangers of alcohol. **Carry Nation** was a very serious temperance worker. She carried a small axe into saloons and smashed the buildings to pieces! The **Anti-Saloon League** and **Prohibitionists** fought for total outlaw of any alcohol.
