Abstract:

From 1966 to 1978, the North Carolina General Assembly debated allowing counties and municipalities to vote on the sale of liquor-by-the-drink. Charlotte and Mecklenburg County became the center of the conflict, for while the city wanted to attract corporate headquarters from the financial and computer sector, many religious leaders organized grass-roots support to oppose the legalization of mixed-drink sales.
