No Prohibition Laws for German Americans
At the South Atlantic League of the National German American Alliance meeting in Charleston South Carolina resolutions were adopted protesting prohibition laws. They urged temperance through state supervised beer and native wine manufacture, sale and oversight, and argued personal liberty would be better protected by such measures. The resolutions condemn enforcement based on moral panic and urge immigration support for Germans, with copies to governors and officials of states enacting drastic prohibitions. Charleston South Carolina May 6 1908.
