Carry A. Nation

Carry A. Nation was a passionate activist in the early 20th century, known for her strong opposition to alcohol. She believed that drinking alcohol caused social problems and moral decline, so she famously used disruptive tactics, such as vandalizing bars and saloons, to promote prohibition. Her determined, sometimes controversial actions made her a prominent figure in the temperance movement, which sought to ban alcohol nationwide. Despite criticism, her efforts helped raise awareness about the issues linked to alcohol consumption and contributed to the eventual push for Prohibition in the United States.
