The Carry Nation Quiz

You're right! The correct answer is a Bible and a hatchet.

Carry was photographed many times with these two items.

She believed she was doing God's will by acting against saloons.
Carry wrote the word "Smashing" in her Bible next to this passage:

"See, I have this day set thee over the nation and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down,
to build, and to plant."
