.... population that, with continuing immigration from Europe, was spreading.” (Cohms 1) Prohibition was seen as the work of the devil through alcohol, so it was up to the women to save us. “The extraordinary “Women’s War” broke out across the nation in 1873. Thousands of women marched from church meetings to saloons, where with prayer and song they demanded—with transitory results—that saloonkeepers give up their businesses.
