Book Description
Excerpt from The Second Declaration of Independence: Or a Suggested Emancipation Proclamation From the Liquor Traffic The Declaration of Independence, the Federal Constitution, and the several state constitutions are based upon the principles of the theistic theory of government. Daniel Webster said, This Country can exist based only on the principles Of the Christian religion. We acknowledge Christ in nearly every book that is printed and on nearly every tomb stone. Saul of Tarsus, the greatest lawyer that was ever born, said, Let every soul be subject to the higher powers; for there is no power but of God. The powers that be are ordained of God. We do not have to be lawyers to comprehend the fact that so long as we acknowledge God as the Supreme Being, we have no right to put upon the statute books any laws that are contrary to His laws. God holds a nation responsible for the commission of a sin, just as much as He does an individual. A nation has no more right to commit a sin than has an individual. As God cannot punish nations for their sins in the hereafter, He pun ishes national sins by national calamities.

Smashing the Liquor Machine
Author: Mark Lawrence SchradPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190841575
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 753
Book Description
When most people think of the prohibition era, they think of speakeasies, gin runners, and backwoods fundamentalists railing about the ills of strong drink. In other words, in the popular imagination, it is a peculiarly American event.Yet, as Mark Lawrence Schrad shows in Smashing the Liquor Machine, the conventional scholarship on prohibition is extremely misleading for a simple reason: American prohibition was just one piece of a global wave of prohibition laws that occurred around the same time. Schrad's counterintuitiveglobal history of prohibition looks at the anti-alcohol movement around the globe through the experiences of pro-temperance leaders like Thomas Masaryk, founder of Czechoslovakia, Vladimir Lenin, Leo Tolstoy, and anti-colonial activists in India. Schrad argues that temperance wasn't "Americanexceptionalism" at all, but rather one of the most broad-based and successful transnational social movements of the modern era. In fact, Schrad offers a fundamental re-appraisal of this colorful era to reveal that temperance forces frequently aligned with progressivism, social justice, liberalself-determination, democratic socialism, labor rights, women's rights, and indigenous rights. By placing the temperance movement in a deep global context, he forces us to fundamentally rethink all that we think we know about the movement. Rather than a motley collection of puritanical Americanevangelicals, the global temperance movement advocated communal self-protection against the corrupt and predatory "liquor machine" that had become exceedingly rich off the misery and addictions of the poor around the world, from the slums of South Asia to central Europe to the Indian reservations ofthe American west.Unlike many traditional "dry" histories, Smashing the Liquor Machine gives voice to minority and subaltern figures who resisted the global liquor industry, and further highlights that the impulses that led to the temperance movement were far more progressive and variegated than American readers havebeen led to believe.
Prohibitions and Psychoactive Substances in History, Culture and Theory
Author: Susannah WilsonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100001195X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This volume is a new contribution to the dynamic scholarly discussion of the control and regulation of psychoactive substances in culture and society. Offering new critical reflections on the reasons prohibitions have historically arisen, the book analyses "prohibitions" as ambivalent and tenuous interactions between the users of psychoactive substances and regulators of their use. This original collection of essays engages with contemporary debates concerning addiction, intoxication and drug regulation, and will be of interest to scholars in the arts, humanities and social sciences interested in narratives of prohibition and their social and cultural meanings.
