Abstract:
As far as official records show, the question of temperance or prohibition first came up in North Carolina in 1783, and has been coming up ever since. In 1865, the Friends of Temperance was organized in Virginia and spread throughout the south by 1877, with 290 chapters in North Carolina. In 1909, prohibition won the vote in North Carolina as well.
