Prohibition and political events sweep through 1913 era
A dense chronology notes January to December events across the United States including sovereignty shifts under the United States for the Danish West Indies, multiple state level dry laws in Ohio Michigan and South Dakota, presidential veto battles over immigration and alcohol bills, Oregon wage and price actions, Rhode Island granting presidential suffrage to women, indictments of fuel dealers in New York, and a series of congressional actions leading to the 64th Congress expiration and abolitionist measures. It highlights Bolshevik-like unrest nowhere near, but marks a broad sweep of progressive era actions and social changes with varied outcomes across states and federal actions.
