Abstract

Administrative History

The temperance movement was a social campaign that advocated for the moderation -or complete abolition - of the consumption of alcohol. Advocates often criticized the effect the of alcohol on people’s health, mental state, and their family lives. Members of the temperance movement were vocal in demanding legislation that restricted the sale of alcohol. In the United States, the temperance movement gained traction nation-wide in the 1820’s.
