Book Description
Excerpt from Non-Partisan Temperance Effort: Defined, Advocated, and Vindicated During about two months these thoughts were gradually taking form, resulting in the organization of this National League, on a strictly non-partisan basis. Non-partisan seemed to be the talismanic term which would inspire confidence, attract support, and crystallize effort. Responses from all over the country concentrated upon this point. A considerable number of Democrats, a few persons who voted with the Third Party, and many Republicans, were among the favorable respondents. January I, 188 5, the League was organized. Its non partisanship was recognized in its list of officers, which includes, 10 Democrats, several who voted the Third Party ticket last autumn.

The Politics of Prohibition
Author: Lisa M. F. AndersenPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107434432
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
This book introduces the intrepid temperance advocates who formed America's longest-living minor political party - the Prohibition Party - drawing on the party's history to illuminate how American politics came to exclude minor parties from governance. Lisa M. F. Andersen traces the influence of pressure groups and ballot reforms, arguing that these innovations created a threshold for organization and maintenance that required extraordinary financial and personal resources from parties already lacking in both. More than most other minor parties, the Prohibition Party resisted an encroaching Democratic-Republican stranglehold over governance. When Prohibitionists found themselves excluded from elections, they devised a variety of tactics: they occupied saloons, pressed lawsuits, forged utopian communities, and organized dry consumers to solicit alcohol-free products.
American Indian Policy in Crisis
Author: Francis Paul PruchaPublisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806146435
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
In this book a distinguished authority in the field presents an account of United States Indian policy in the years 1865 to 1900, one of the most critical periods in Indian-white relations. Francis Paul Prucha discusses in detail the major developments of those years—Grant's Peace Policy, the reservation system, the agitation for transfer of Indian affairs to military control, the General Allotment Act (the Dawes Act), Indian citizenship, Indian education, Civil Service reform of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the dissolution of the Indian nations of the Indian Territory. American Indian Policy in Crisis focuses on the Christian humanitarians and philanthropists who were the ultimate driving force in the "reform" of Indian affairs. The programs of these men and women to individualize and Americanize the Indians and turn them into patriotic American citizens indistinguishable from their white neighbors are examined at length. The story is not a pretty one, for reformers' changes were often disastrous for the Indians, and yet it is a tremendously important work for understanding the Indians’ situation and their place in American society today. Prucha does not treat Indian policy in isolation but relates it to the dominant cultural and intellectual currents of the age. This book furnishes a view of the evangelical Christian influence on American policy and the reforming spirit it engendered, both of which have a significance extending beyond Indian policy alone. Thorough documentation and an excellent bibliography enhance its value.
