A Most Stirring and Significant Episode

- Religion and the Rise and Fall of Prohibition in Black Atlanta, 1865-1887

Bag om A Most Stirring and Significant Episode

When Atlanta enacted prohibition in 1885, it was the largest city in the US to do so. This book examines the rise of temperance sentiment among freed African Americans that made this vote possible, and the forces that resulted in its 1887 reversal well before the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution created a national prohibition in 1919.
