Evidence and limit
Cowdery connects militant temperance politics to nativist Protestantism, the Anti-Saloon League, the Ku Klux Klan, wartime anti-German pressure, and rhetoric portraying Catholic and Jewish immigrants as threats to Protestant political and cultural control.
The claim concerns documented currents and coalitions, not every temperance supporter. Cowdery points to Marni Davis’s specialist history as a verification lead.
