Title	Anti-Saloon League Song Book
Subject	Civil Liberties Religion in Ohio Music Songs Temperance Ohio Anti-Saloon League Anti-saloon League of America
Place	Westerville (Ohio) Franklin County (Ohio) Oberlin (Ohio) Lorain County (Ohio)
Description	This Anti-Saloon League Song Book was used by temperance advocates in the Anti-Saloon League. Hymn singing was a vital part of the rallies and meetings held by the group. These songs provided energy and purpose to the movement and encapsulated its fundamental principles. The volume is 125 pages long and measures 5" x 7.75" (13 x 20 cm). The first eighteen pages are included here. Formed in Oberlin on May 24,1893, the Anti-Saloon League was one of the first organizations that used bipartisan political agitation to fight for prohibition, and it became the model for other state leagues. In 1895 the Ohio League and the District of Columbia League joined together to organize the state leagues in the national Anti-Saloon League, with its headquarters in Westerville, Ohio. The Anti-Saloon League was also an energizing force in the Methodist Church in Ohio. The Prohibition Movement, an effort to ban alcohol consumption, began in Ohio in the late nineteenth century with the Woman's Christian Temperance Movement and the formation of the Anti-Saloon League in 1893. Although the issue was on the ballot several times, voters did not approve prohibition until 1918. In 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution passed, making prohibition the law of the United States. It was repealed in 1921 with the passage of the Twenty-first Amendment.
