Evidence: This perceived abuse was so strong, Frances Willard, a reformer from Illinois, told her followers to “bless and brighten every place she enters and enter every place” (Danzinger 331). Analysis: Saloons and bars were definitely among the “places” that her followers went into.

Paragraph 3 Details: • Topic Sentence: The 18th Amendment was ratified in 1919 after efforts by the WCTU, the votes in congress, and the states, and even the support of the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. • Point: Various religious groups though drinking alcohol was immoral and they worked to stop it. Evidence: For example, The Women’s Christian Temperance Union considered drinking “a sin” (Danzinger 454). Analysis: This gave the WCTU the moral high ground and motivated them to work hard to get Prohibition passed.
