jun 7, 1900 - Carrie Nation starts her crusade against liquor

Description:

Walking into a saloon in Kiowa, Kansas at 8:30am, she tells owner John Dobson, "I don't want to strike you, but I am going to break up this den of vice." She then smashes his liquor bottles and the mirror behind the bar, vandalizes three other bars in Kiowa and rode out of town. Because the saloons are operating illegally, she is not arrested. Nation will continue her destruction until her death in 1911.
