  • Questioning Similarities: Prohibition in the United States and Finland
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 49:1 (2017), pp. 3-18. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). Questioning Similarities: Prohibition in the United States and Finland Mark C. Smith University of Texas at Austin Abstract: Only two republics have ever adopted national alcohol prohibition in peacetime, and they did so at almost exactly the same time. For these reasons and oth- ers, historians of temperance have considered prohibition in Finland and the United States to be essentially similar. In fact, despite originating at the same time, the two are quite dissimilar. American prohibition came out of Protestant revivalism and a capitalist desire for worker efficiency. By the late nineteenth century two powerful temperance organizations, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and the Anti- Saloon League, had emerged to lead the movement for domestic prohibition and to evangelize for prohibition abroad. Prohibition in Finland came out of the movement to achieve a cultural and political nationalism. Temperance was part of the Turku ac- ademics’ attempt to create a virtuous unified peasantry and working class. The work- ing class, in particular, used the temperance movement to organize their movements. While the United States and Finland were the only two republics to undertake national prohibition, the US largely ignored the Finnish experiment. They praised it in the early 1920s only to emphasize its later failures as a way of trying to obscure their own inability to achieve a viable policy. Key words: Prohibition, Finland, nationalism, United States, morality Of the many comparisons between the United States and the Nordic coun- tries, one of the most common is their shared tendency, unlike most of the rest of western culture, toward alcohol prohibition.

  • The Maine Law of 1851: How the Prohibitionists Made It
    THE MAINE LAW OF 1851: HOW THE PROHIBITIONISTS MADE IT Masaru OKAMOTO Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine the prohibition movement in the state of Maine. Emphasis will be placed on the role of Neal Dow , chief spokesman of it. Maine was one of the states which faced more severe drinking problems than most others. In addition, until the 1830's the temperance movement in Maine was sluggish for several reasons. But from the late 1840's on, Maine became one of the leading states in the campaign for statewide prohibition. A stringent law-the so-called Main Law of 1851-was enacted, and it became throughout the succeed- ing decade the prototype of the prohibitory laws in ten other states and two territories. The process of making the Maine Law was a long struggle for the prohibitionists. How did the prohibitionists in Maine succeed in enacting the Law of 1851? And what kind of strategy did they use for the purpose of making prohibitionism a popular movement? Attempts will be made in this paper to answer these questions. I From Temperance to Prohibition: A Survey In the 17th and 18th centuries "temperance" meant moderate drinking of ardent spirits. Later it implied abstinence from all intoxicat- ing liquors including "Holy wine." Likewise, in those early days, tem- perance advocates tried to reason people out of excessive drinking by using the method of "moral suasion." But gradually they resorted to prohibition or forbidding by law of all use of intoxicating liquors. Thus temperance which had basically been a moral issue came to assume 199 a severe, extreme tone and as such it took no time before it assumed a political character or became a political issue.
