Notes
“The WCTU was organized by women who were concerned about the destructive power of alcohol and the problems it was causing their families and society. They met in churches to pray and then marched to the saloons to ask the owners to close their establishments.These activities are often referred to as the "Women's Crusades" and their success was both the forerunner and impetus for the founding of the WCTU. For more about the Crusades, WCTU members chose total abstinence from all alcohol as their life style and they adopted this definition of temperance: n the summer of 1874 at Chautauqua, New York, organizational discussions were held by the women determined to act against the ravages of alcohol. They decided to hold a national convention that fall in Cleveland and the WCTU was formed.” -- WCTU website: http://www.wctu.org/
