The Crusade for Social Order

This work delves into the history of the Temperance Movement, led by women through organizations like the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League, culminating in the Eighteenth Amendment and its eventual repeal by the Twenty-first Amendment. It explores early 1900s immigration restriction driven by eugenics and nativism, posing ethical dilemmas that resonate today. The controversy over marijuana legality and contemporary immigration debates reflect ongoing challenges in balancing moral decisions with social needs, as exemplified by Arizona SB 1070.
