This book introduces the intrepid temperance advocates who formed
America's longest-living minor political party - the Prohibition
Party - drawing on the party's history to illuminate how American
politics came to exclude minor parties from governance. Lisa M. F.
Andersen traces the influence of pressure groups and ballot
reforms, arguing that these innovations created a threshold for
organization and maintenance that required extraordinary financial
and personal resources from parties already lacking in both. More
than most other minor parties, the Prohibition Party resisted an
encroaching Democratic-Republican stranglehold over governance.
When Prohibitionists found themselves excluded from elections, they
devised a variety of tactics: they occupied saloons, pressed
lawsuits, forged utopian communities, and organized dry consumers
to solicit alcohol-free products.
