This book comprehensively examines the forces that contribute to the rise of anti-saloon sentiment in the southern United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It challenges conventional wisdom and prevailing views on the topic by taking a reductionist approach: tracing the movement's growth by recording the adoption of 'no license' legislation across 14 southern states. The author's deep dive into legislation and official state reports reveals that the movement was not a sudden development but rather the culmination of a long period of consistent growth. The book goes on to explore two methods of 'no license' legislation employed during this time, and examines the rise of the dispensary system as a response to the failure of the saloon as a liquor distribution agency. It concludes by considering the ways in which federal law hindered the enforcement of local and state laws, shedding light on the broader difficulties of temperance reform in the United States.
