Ohio History Connection Archives/Library
Description: Temperance poster with the slogan, 'The Children's Horror, "Daddy" Coming Home Drunk." Posters like these were used during the Temperance movement, an organized effort during the 19th and early 20th centuries to limit or outlaw the consumption and production of alcoholic beverages in the United States. In 1874, a group of Cleveland women established the Women's Christian Temperance Union. This organization pressured the Ohio and federal governments to implement Prohibition, which would outlaw the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol. By the 1890s, groups such as the American Anti-Saloon League had joined the Women's Christian Temperance Union in its push for Prohibition. View on Ohio Memory.
