1835-02-13, Memorial on repeal of the License Law
|
|
SEE ALSO 52753 House No. 50 On February 13, 1835, 2,965 women from Lowell submitted a memorial to the Legislature in opposition to repealing the
license law. The women wanted towns or other jurisdictions to be able to vote to exclude alcohol entirely. It was women and children who suffered
most from the evils of drink; a seller of alcohol was a destroyer of homes and people. Pages 5-39 was a great find: the names, location and date of
activity of all the women. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Massachusetts State Library).
