It notes that while the Russian government lost revenue due to alcohol prohibition, people saved millions by not spending money on drinks. These savings went toward worthwhile family expenses and personal savings. The poster demonstrates how prohibitionists used various arguments to sway public opinion, in this case appealing to economic benefits rather than just moral ones. Description An account of the resource This poster discusses Russia's recent government enforced prohibition, highlighting how citizens saved money by not drinking while acknowledging the state's lost alcohol revenue. It argues that such government intervention succeeded in Russia and should now be implemented in the United States. 1913 Government Money Not America Poster Russia https://www.prohibition-visuals.leadr.site/files/original/e47fb40bc606a7a9e24fe8930df2c654.png c82b0fd0f9f463daa0548858dd303643 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It relies on pseudoscience by unethically applying animal studies to pregnant women while obscuring weak data and clear bias. By exaggerating alcohol’s harms without credible evidence, it pushes a prohibitionist agenda rather than scientific truth. Description An account of the resource In this poster it shows a graph of dogs that were feed alcohol compared to dogs that did not.

It compares teeth development across three groups heavy drinkers, moderate drinkers, and abstainers. The flawed data claims children of drinkers had slower tooth growth ignoring other factors like genetics or nutrition that influence development. Despite its shaky science, the poster amplifies prohibitionists’ deepest fear that parents’ drinking permanently stunts their children. Description An account of the resource The poster features two comparative graphs tracking teething across three groups: abstainers, moderate drinkers, and frequent drinkers. Top graph, cut teeth by eight months: <ul> <li> 72% of abstainers’ children had cut teeth by eight months </li> <li> 66% of moderate drinkers’ children </li> <li> 57% of frequent drinkers’ children </li> </ul> Bottom graph, average teeth at eight months: <ul> <li> Abstainers: 2.5 teeth </li> <li> Moderates: 2.1 teeth </li> <li> Drinkers: 1.5 teeth </li> </ul> While the data suggests a correlation between drinking and delayed teething, it ignores confounding variables like genetics, nutrition, or measurement methods. 1913 Alcoholism Children Defective Parents Poster Well Born https://www.prohibition-visuals.leadr.site/files/original/2f335f3cfc6d70db572f64b473821b72.jpg ece3a41feabfb99c14723d7a46346451 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Hand and Hand Feeblemindedness and Alcoholism Subject The topic of the resource This poster weaponizes pseudoscience to claim that alcoholic parents are more likely to have "feebleminded" children which reinforced prohibitionists’ belief that alcoholism perpetuates itself across generations. It also reflects the broader eugenicist goal of cultivating "ideal" American citizens which is a robust population of healthy babies destined for productivity, not vice. Description An account of the resource The poster presents two pie graphs with manipulated data: <ul> <li> Graph 1: Percentage of 250 "feebleminded" children with alcoholic parents </li> <li> Graph 2: Percentage of 100 "normal" children with alcoholic parents </li> </ul> By using unequal sample sizes (250 vs. 100), the creators artificially inflate the correlation between parental alcoholism and cognitive disability. Their claim that "feebleminded" children are five times more likely to have alcoholic parents is statistically unethical, as the skewed datasets mislead viewers into accepting a false causation. This propaganda tactic exaggerates temperance rhetoric while ignoring critical variables like poverty or education that influence child development.

Three young children wait on the porch for their father, who drinks inside while they suffer outside without even ice to cool them down. The scene reinforces the prohibitionists’ core argument that alcohol makes families suffer in countless ways, abandoning even basic paternal duties. Description An account of the resource The text above the image reads, "Health Hint for Hot Weather- Don't Drink Beer - City Board of Health." An image of three young kids on the summer porch. The older sister is holding the youngest sibling in her arms, and the other brother is sitting next to the sister.

Title A name given to the resource The American Issue, April 9, 1915 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The American Issue (Westerville, Ohio) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 9, 1915 Subject The topic of the resource Prohibitionists want to portray alcohol as something that will betray anything if it gets in its way of making money. They portray it as aiding the enemy since it could affect the entire war effort by the British due to its physically impairing those that drink. Alcohol was the number one enemy of the people and the state and needed to be banned. Description An account of the resource During World War I, Britain enacted the Defense of the Realm Act (DORA), which partially prohibited alcohol for soldiers by limiting pub hours, reducing alcohol percentages, and restricting supply. This was due to concerns that soldiers were drinking excessively. The comic praises the United Kingdom for its actions against alcohol, depicting it about to be attacked by a rum bottle as punishment for exposing alcohol’s dangers. In the background, the United States watches, witnessing how alcohol betrays its users.

The newspaper aims to convince readers that alcohol is the root cause of broken families, even quoting a judge to support this claim. The mother’s appearance speaks volumes she is worn down and haggard, she looks decades older from enduring her husband’s addiction. Every detail screams how alcoholism steals not just money, but years of life.
