Overview

""Give Prohibition Its Change"" is a persuasive and historical defense of the Eighteenth Amendment, written by Ella A. Boole, a prominent leader in the temperance movement. Published during the height of the national debate over alcohol consumption in the United States, this work serves as both a call to action and a detailed argument for the continued enforcement of Prohibition. Boole provides an insider's perspective on the social and moral objectives of the movement, highlighting the perceived benefits of a dry nation for families, industry, and public health. The text delves into the history of the temperance struggle, the legislative path to the amendment, and the practical challenges of enforcement in the late 1920s. Boole challenges critics of the law, arguing that the social experiment had not yet been given a fair opportunity to succeed. By addressing contemporary concerns regarding lawlessness and personal liberty, ""Give Prohibition Its Change"" offers a significant look into the ideology that shaped American social policy during the early 20th century. This work remains a vital primary source for those interested in the history of social reform, women's political activism, and the complexities of American legal history.
