Final Jeopardy Answer for November 18
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on November 18, 2024 is “Who is Carrie Nation?'”
Carrie Nation, nicknamed Hatchet Granny, was a prominent figure in the American temperance movement that eventually led to Prohibition. Born in 1846, she participated in religious work and charity, and like other female activists in her time, she believed that drunkenness was the source of society’s ills. That said, she was far more aggressive in her approach, smashing windows and attacking taverns with a literal hatchet.
Specifically, the quote refers to Carrie stepping into a Kansas saloon and telling the owner, an apparent Mr. Dobson, that she was going to break up the establishment. She smashed all of the bottles inside and made the men flee. As to her fervor, some of it is likely due to her first husband, Gloyd, having a drinking problem and dying from pneumonia in part because of his alcoholism.
