This cartoon shows Carry Nation inside a saloon that she has attacked. Do you think the cartoonist had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of this prohibitionist? Explain.
The cartoon of Carry Nation inside a saloon that she has just recently attacked is showing an unfavorable opinion of her as a prohibitionist. In the 1890s Carry Nation went into saloons and scolded the men for drinking alcohol and then would break their bottles of alcohol with the hatchet she carried around. In the Cartoon it shows the whole bar looking as if it had just been maliciously attacked. Things on the walls are broken, mirrors are cracked, and the majority of the things in the bar are also broken and or cracked. It has Carry Nation standing in the middle of all of this with a hatchet in her hand. Since the cartoonist made it so everything in the bar is broken up and destroyed it is showing that the cartoonist who drew this has a unfavorable opinion of Carry Nation and her probation movements.
