About the Organization: The Anti-Saloon League was established in 1893 in Oberlin, Ohio, as a prohibition organization. It became a national association in 1895 and, along with the Women's Christian Temperance Union, led the crusade against drink that resulted in the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning the sale and manufacture of alcoholic beverages in the United States. The Anti-Saloon League continued after the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1933, merging with other temperance societies in 1950 to form the National Temperance League.
