Looking for a zero-proof alternative after @fqfest weekend? 🍋 Try a glass of lemonade.⁠ ⁠ Associated with the rise of the American Protestant Church in the 1830s and 1840s, “teetotalers” urged cessation of liquor consumption. Influential groups like the Women’s Christian Temperance Union ultimately organized for the complete government prohibition of liquor.⁠ ⁠ Lemonade pitchers similar to this one made of pressed uranium glass were often central to temperance gatherings and served as subtle symbols of abstinence, while pledge cards and temperance ribbons overtly shared a personal commitment to abstaining from alcohol.⁠ ⁠ In the Reconstruction-era South, the temperance movement gained traction as a response to widespread societal concerns like consistent overconsumption of alcohol, rising levels of domestic violence, and falling workplace productivity. ⁠ ⁠ Influenced by the region’s conservative values, Southern temperance advocates viewed abstinence from alcohol as a means to a more virtuous society, addressing issues such as family instability and moral decay.⁠ ⁠ 👉 "Rebellious Spirits: Prohibition and Resistance in the South" is on view at NOMA through January 5.⁠ —⁠ 🎨: Hobbs, Brockunier and Company (Wheeling, West Virginia, 1845–1891), “Hobnail” or “Dew Drop” Pitcher, c. 1890.
