Catholicism
Abstinence Unions of America

Small advertisement within an Edition of the San Francisco Call advertising the monthly meeting of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America. Advertisement is made up of around 20 words. The San Francisco Call was a very short-lived newspaper, and continuously merged with other local publications in order to build a bigger audience. The local community was made up of Catholic people, a mixture of European missionaries who had settled and Indigenous Peoples, who chose to follow Catholicism so strictly that they gave up drinking alcohol. This source is very reflective of the impact missionaries had on the native people; many historians write on the excessive alcohol consumption of many indigenous peoples prior to the missions, yet many were convinced by Catholicism and chose to adapt their ideals.
