she didn’t even start using her hatchet until her husband joked about it and then she made a chad reply saying “that is the most sensible thing I’ve heard from you since we’ve been married.”
Goga chad right there
This is the best story I've ever heard. Why didn't I hear about her before?
“You have put me in here a cub, but I will come out roaring like a lion, and I will make all hell howl!” I love that quote.
Came to learn more about my ancestor and now leaving inspired by her determination but hating her cause and most of the people in the comments preaching god
🧢

SMASH

SAMASH!!!!!
She was a lunatic -- Bible in one hand, hatchet in another.
Smashy smash
It was a time of complete lawlessness and lunacy what do you expect? Did they ever hurt anyone?
Got a bible in my hand and a beard on my chin, fool
And I've been milking and plowing so long, even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
@@saturnknight4573 Amish Paradise, Weird Al! lol hadnt heard of that in a long time
I have a souvenir hatchet with Carrie Nation name on it. I think my great grandmother got it back in the day. She was very apposed to alcohol. I don't know if it's worth anything. But I wouldn't sell it even if it was.
😊 that's so cool
Smashy smash
Im pretty sure this woman was the inspiration for the 1970s Movie Carrie. Played out by Carries crazy zealot mother.
basically plainrock's greatest grandma
What a baller.
I wish I could have the same faith and character she did.
What character? She attempted to limit the individual liberties of others and damaged personal property and people's livlihoods. She was nothing more than a criminal trying to enforce her will on others.
@@Quinntus79 it was illegal
@@Quinntus79 That is a character indeed just not a good one but hey it is religion we are talking about.
@@ViceCityExtra With the exception of some states and territories, alcohol was not prohibited. Carrie was the one destroying businesses and property.
@@Quinntus79 but it was targeted towards men who was never home to help the family but instead just went and drank all day long
What I don’t get is, why didn’t somebody in that first saloon punch her lights out? Everyone knows that hitting a woman is absolutely wrong. But, I wouldn’t put it past the rough characters in a saloon.
It's not wrong if she hits you first or begins destroying property.
@@alexreasoner9919 you know that in a saloon there’s more then one person that could beat the shit out of her.
The police would out her in jail and fuck with her and put crazy people in the cell next to her
Those men destroyed those bars every night! It was a common occurrence back then. And they were shooting guns and everything.
@@leberpower2022u would beat the shit out of her to protect somebody else's har? Are you sure you stand for the right things I'm just saying......
***** "I was a great lover. I used to think a person could never love but once in this life, but I often now say, I would not want a heart that could hold but one love. It was not the beauty of face or form that was the most attractive to me in young gentlemen, or ladies, but that of the mind." ....Carrie Nation.
Carrie Nation wrote about her childhood, maybe you should read it before you go saying how awfull she was. I dont know why, how someone else feels about their "sky daddy" is so important to you, or why you seem to think violent behavior against gays is anything near an accepted christian behavior, because I can assure you it is not.
She was a lunatic who baptized her lunacy in a Christian veneer.
I don't like her authoritarian presumption nor do I like her applause at the assassination of McKinley. I thought she was horrible until I learned that the whole state of Kansas was dry and she was just enforcing the law which the politicians refused to do. That made a big difference in my estimation of her. She had the courage of her convictions, that is always to be admired. She dared to very literally destroy that which she hated and which, according to law, was illegal.
She had guts and did what she could to fight alcoholism. Flawed as she was, I think she was a very loving person. There are many who don't care about anything. Carrie was certainly not one of those.
..
It wasn't even her her intense hatred of alcohol that was the worst thing. Her husband drank himself to death trying to deal with PTSD form the American Civil War, and it took years. She probably was very mistreated, and blamed the availability of alcohol for much of it. But make no mistake, she'd be out there trying to keep segregation alive, supporting teaching of creationism in schools, and would take a hatchet to any same-sex marriage license the first chance she could. She was just awful.
Someone can say me who is the woman
PTSD from the civil war, possibly, but it was probably Carrie who drove her first husband to drinking. Then, instead of realizing the truth, she blamed the liquor. She had the attitude of a progressive of that time. They believed that the human race could be perfected through social changes brought on by legislation, like the 18th amendment. Maybe Carrie was not a true progressive, just a woman who hated alcohol, but it was the progressive movement that brought on the disaster of prohibition. Perhaps it's wrong of me to pivot my comment from Carrie Nation over to progressivism, but I have a true hatred of this philosophy. It was the progressive movement that brought the ideas of eugenics, abortion, and euthanasia for all people with physical or mental defects that would not allow them to be a working and productive member of society. Progressives, like George Bernard Shaw, Helen Keller, and Marguret Sanger also believed that euthanasia was acceptable for all who grew old and interned, were maimed in accidents or suffered debilitating conditions, like a stroke. Progressives were responsible for the sterilization of thousands of women who suffered from mental problems during the early 1900s. Hitler was a big fan of progressivism, and the horrors of his policies were likely the final nail in that movement until these, recent times, where this is making a comeback within academia, the billionaire elites, and the politicians who have allowed these people to influence them. Beware of people like Bill Gates, George Soros, Mark Zuckerburg, and Hillary Clinton who openly called herself a progressive, not too many years ago. I feel that a dark cloud of evil has befallen upon our world and these people, and many other billionaire elites, who hide in the shadows, are behind this.
Whatever the reason, I think she was awesome. This was not a time of law and order and nobody was obeying any rules or laws. The men were doing way way worse every day.
Fun fact: The people who love that person have the same level of intelligence of a tlou part 2 fan.
U must not understand the hell everyone's lives were when the alcohol was around. This was already a time of complete lawlessness what do u think the wives and children went through at this time? There was no domestic violence shelters to call. What else could one do but try to get rid of the cause of all the problems! The alcohol.
MOM!
