Temperance was not an issue in bleeding Kansas. At the time, the temperance movement was still mostly concentrated in urban areas. Kansas during the period of "Bleeding Kansas" most certainly was NOT urban. "Bleeding Kansas", as it was called by Horace Greeley of the NY Tribune, was a proxy war between Northern and Southern states focused almost entirely over the question of whether Kansas would be a "free" or "slave" state.

Prohibition eventually was created and then was repealed shortly after, after the government saw a spike in crime.
During the 1920s, women had an auxiliary known as Women of the Ku Klux Klan (WKKK), with the same offices as the men.

The WKKK often worked closely with, and shared many members with, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU)
