Lisa M. F. Andersen traces the influence of pressure groups and ballot reforms, arguing that these innovations created a threshold for organization and maintenance that required extraordinary financial and personal resources from parties already lacking in both. More than most other minor parties, the Prohibition Party resisted an encroaching Democratic-Republican stranglehold over governance. When Prohibitionists found themselves excluded from elections, they devised a variety of tactics: they occupied saloons, pressed lawsuits, forged utopian communities, and organized dry consumers to solicit alcohol-free products. 606 $aProhibitionists$zUnited States 606 $aProhibition$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1865-1933 615 0$aProhibitionists 615 0$aProhibition 676 $a324.2732 700 $aAndersen$b Lisa M.
