level of acidity. All peppers are classified as low-acid foods and have a pH of 4.8 to 6.0 depending on maturity and variety. When pickling or canning peppers, it is important to follow recipe directions carefully. Peppers preserved improperly at home have caused botulism. Never taste food that appears to be spoiled.
Woman's Christian Temperance Union. In 1874, a group of Cleveland women established the Women's Christian Temperance Union. This organization pressured the Ohio and federal governments to implement Prohibition. Prohibition would outlaw the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol.
The first Women's Rights convention took place at Seneca Falls in 1848, organised by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. The movement was directed mainly by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her friend Susan B. Anthony for most of the rest of the 19th century. Other early feminists included the remarkable Grimke sisters, who were ardent abolitionists and campaigners for women's rights as well.
