"Prohibition Is Here to Stay"

Prohibition Is Here to Stay, Volume 1, is a detailed historical biography exploring the life of Reverend Edward S. Shumaker. As a Methodist minister and leader of the Indiana chapter of the Anti Saloon League, Shumaker became a central figure in the American fight against alcohol during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work of history examines how Shumaker used his influence to build one of the most powerful political pressure groups in the United States.

Jason S Lantzer analyzes the intersection of religion and politics, specifically the role of evangelical Protestantism in the Prohibition movement. The text connects these religious motivations to broader cultural shifts in the Midwest, including the transition from rural to urban societies and the impact of industrialization. This study of American community and culture provides a scholarly look at how faith shaped the legal and social landscape of the era.
