Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of fifty arguments written by the author to advocate for the implementation of a Massachusetts Anti-Liquor Law in the 1850s. The author bases many of these arguments around the significant amounts of harm and destruction caused by alcohol abuse during the time period. He uses statistical evidence and expert opinions to establish the destructive impact of alcohol consumption on both a personal and societal level, encompassing everything from the economy to individual health to public safety. He describes the negative effect that alcohol abuse has on the livelihoods of family members and the economy. Morality is discussed and the author describes the personal degradation caused by alcoholism and the social ills that it incurs. He also includes arguments that address the legal and constitutional aspects of the prohibition of the sale of alcohol. He positions liquor prohibition within broader historical and social contexts such as the temperance movement, and discusses the significance of this issue in the fight against social and moral decay.
