The Prohibition Era in the Maritime Provinces ran from 1900 to 1930. This aspect of Maritime history has never been fully explored. This study argues that the rise and fall of prohibition in the region was a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon. Beginning in the early nineteenth century this thesis demonstrates that prohibitory legislation was accomplished due to the combination of five powerful influences. 'lbey were a nineteenth century anti-liquor tradition, the Protestant Social Gospel, secular progressivism, Social catholicism and World War I war-time reform enthusiasm. During the war and immediate post-war years prohibition in the Maritimes was relatively effective and reasonably respected. After 1920 however, the combination of another set of replicated forces led to prohibition's decline. They were the ending of war-time reformism, the failure of prohibition's promise, enforcement problems, wide-spread violations, the waning of reform idealism, regional economic problems and the rise of a personal liberty philosophy· Consequently, prohibition was repealed in favour of government control of the sale of liquor in New Brunswick in 1927 and in Nova 5cxJtia in 1929. Prince Edward Islam kept prohibition until 1948 but the law was all but dead after 1930. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

This thesis argues that although historians treat the relationship between professional medicine and folk medicine in Southern Appalachia as a competition and place Appalachian folk medicine as a victim of professionalization, the two forms of medicine are best understood as systems of knowledge. Through interviews, medical journals and administrative records, medical school records, and other archival sources, I trace how gender, race, and class shaped knowledge in Appalachian folk medicine and professional medicine during Prohibition and the early twentieth century. Despite the characterization of folk medicine as a victim to professionalization, I find that people in Southern Appalachia actively understood and engaged with shifting ideas of health and constant concerns over the high costs of medicine and limited accessibility to doctors throughout the twentieth century. / Master of Arts

The advent of prohibition in America in the early 1920's brought on wide-spread smuggling activity along the Canadian and Mexican borders as well as along the Atlantic coastline. Since many of the smuggling vessels sought protection from American authorities by foreign registry, the State Department initiated efforts to enable American officials to enforce prohibition without interfering with legitimate commerce. Washington concluded compromise agreements with fifteen countries that provided for American enforcement measures and suitable liquor cargo arrangements for the other signatory nations. The liquor conventions were not a final solution to the smuggling problem but they did provide for better enforcement. The agreements reinforced existing principles and represented an attempt to eliminate possible sources of friction on the international level arising out of American prohibition enforcement.

Thesis advisor: Martin A. Summers / This dissertation charts the medicalization and criminalization of the drug now widely known as marijuana. Almost no one in the United States used that word, however, until it was introduced from Mexico in the early twentieth century. Prior to that, Americans often called it hemp or hashish, and generally knew it as Cannabis - the scientific name given to a genus of plants by Carl Linnaeus. That transition in terminology from cannabis to marijuana serves as the crux of this project: It begins in 1840 with the formal introduction of cannabis into American medicine and ends in 1937 with the federal prohibition of marijuana. In between, it charts nearly a century of medical discourse, social concern, and legislative restrictions surrounding the drug – demonstrating that the origins of our nation’s war on weed are much older and more complicated than previous studies have suggested. In short, marijuana prohibition in the United States was not a swift or sudden byproduct of racism and xenophobia toward Mexican immigrants, but instead, the culmination of broad evolutions in public health and drug regulation coupled with a sustained concern about the potential dangers of cannabis use dating to the mid-nineteenth century. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2017. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Thank you. / The Order of the Sons of Temperance (1842-), an offshoot of the declining Washingtonians, was organized to free the intemperate from the slavery of King Alcohol. The Order was divided into Subordinate, Grand, and National Divisions. A pledge to total abstinence required each Son to refrain from manufacturing, purchasing, selling, or imbibing all known and potential intoxicants. Beneficial features were adopted to protect members and their families from the hardships caused by sickness, unemployment, and death. The division room of the Order provided an atmosphere of general education, social activity, and character building. Though its semi-secret character brought protests upon the Sons of Temperance, the Order survived and continues to employ the principle of semi-secrecy (1966). By the 1850's the Order had become international in scope. From the United States, the principles and pra.ctises of the Order moved into Canada. Its philosophy penetrated Great Britain, Australia, the West Indies, South Africa, New Zealand, and Liberia. In the early twentieth century, British Sons influenced the establishment of the Order in Malta, Egypt, India, and Burma. Today (1966), the National Division of North America continues to send passwords to the National Divisions of Great Britain and Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Becoming "champions" of social equality, the Order admitted women, Negroes, and servicemen to its ranks. Lady visitors were permitted in the Order by 1854, and by 1866 women were admitted as members. Between 1863-65, a number of Subordinate Divisions were established in both the Union and Confederate military services. Negroes were admitted to the Order (1866) on a separate but equal basis. Statutory and "constitutionaltt prohibitory schemes became the objective of many Sons during the 1850's, matters which continue (1966) to hold the interest of the Order. Neal Dow, Samuel L. Tilley, William Armstrong, and Henry Wilson labored with many other prominent Sons to establish state, provincial, and national prohibition of the "spirits" traffic throughout North America. Efforts to sustain its greatest membership, 232,233 in 1850, were adopted by the Sons of Temperance. Thereafter, youth temperance programs, such as the Cadets of Temperance, the Band of Hope, and the Loyal Crusaders, were employed by the Order. The practise of disseminating temperance principles through tracts, books, periodicals, journals, and addresses was also instituted by the Sons. Nonetheless, the fragmentation of "closed" and "open" temperance societies, the American Civil liar, the distraction of the Eighteenth Amendment, and internal problems kept the Order from maintaining its earlier membership. There are no comprehensive histories of the Sons of Temperance. John Allen Krout in Origins of Prohibition and J. C. Furnas in Life and Times of the Late Demon Rum have written general accounts of the temperance movement in the United States, particularly in regard to the nineteenth century; they have, however, merely touched upon the history of the Sons of Temperance. Nineteenth and twentieth century sources, both printed and manuscript, including all available records of the Order, have been employed in preparing this dissertation. On the basis of this material the writer has prepared a topical, but chronological, institutional history of the Sons of Temperance of North America. / 2031-01-01

Název diplomové práce v anglickém jazyce, abstrakt v anglickém jazyce a klíčová slova Title of the thesis: Prohibition versus Legalization of Drugs from the Perspective of Law and Economics Abstract Drug prohibition has lasted for over a hundred years. In the last decade, however, more and more states are moving from restrictive drug policy to milder forms of drug regulation, including their partial legalization. This master's thesis is one of the first Czech studies that comprehensively deals with the prohibition and legalization of drugs from the perspective of law and economics. The main aim of this thesis is to analyze selected economic and legal aspects of current drug prohibition and possible legalization of drugs. Several methods have been used to achieve this objective, with the greatest emphasis being placed on the demand-supply analysis of the drug market, which is present in the economic part of this thesis. This analysis makes it possible to understand how drug market is affected by state interventions, why these interventions often fail or identify benefits of drug legalization. This is followed by description of the most significant economic implications of drug use and their prohibition. Consequently, the next section deals with a brief overview of the history of economic thought regarding...
