The Anti-Saloon League had an influential role in American politics between 1893 and 1933, using newspapers, cartoons, assorted publications and lobbying to transform a long-standing moral concern into a Constitutional amendment. The League left a legacy of printed material to the Westerville Ohio Public Library, the provider of this site. At the site, users will find a history of the League, short biographies of its leaders, and a nice collection of digitized printed materials including wet/dry maps of the US and editorial cartoons. Additional resources include a short list of classroom activities (for integrating the website into lessons on the temperance and other morality-based social movements), and a bibliography.
