Carrie Nation was perhaps one of the most outspoken prohibitionists, and she often took extreme measures to communicate her beliefs about alcohol. She is famous for walking into bars with other prohibition activists and smashing furniture and liquor bottles with a hatchet. By the time she died on June 9, 1911, she had been arrested at least thirty-two times for destruction of property. She even once described herself as “a bulldog running along at the feet of Jesus, barking at what He doesn’t like.”
