Summary of Article 1:
In the article Caging the Blind Tiger: Race, Class, and Family in the Battle for
Prohibition in Small Town Arkansas, Whayne explains how vast differences in class, culture,
gender, and family played a role in the prohibition movement in two small Arkansas towns.
Whayne uses two northeastern Arkansas towns, Marked Tree and Osceola, to explain how class
and family structures, rather than race, affected the prohibition movement. Marked Tree faced
more resistance in confronting the prohibition movement compared to Osceola. Marked Tree, a
frontier town, was dependent on the railroad and lumbering industries, while Osceola, an
established town, was dependent on the agriculture industries. As a result, Marked Tree had a
significantly larger population of single males living in boarding houses, while Osceola had a
large amount of families that contributed to an almost equal number of men and women in the
community. While Osceola had a number of shops, a few even catered to women, Marked Tree
had only a handful; this contributed to the rowdy community in Marked Tree, because many of
the unattached men did not have many options for entertainment. In addition to many Osceola
women in favor of temperance, the newspaper, which was edited by Adah Roussan (a woman),
contributed to the cause by promoting the dangers of drinking. During the 1900s, the increasing
black community in Osceola did not prevent prohibition and the diminishing black community in
Marked Tree did not stand in the way of prohibition. On a local level, it was class and culture
mixed with gender and family that contributed to opposing prohibition results in Marked Tree
and Osceola.
