The Temperance Movement happened because some people in society viewed the way others were living their lives to be contrary to what they believed was right. It wasn't necessarily unjustified; most temperance dealt with the very social issue of Alcoholism and the need to have moderation. When the Temperance Movement began dictating how others should live their lives and judging those who did not, a false sense of moral superiority came over the Movement. This led to laws being enacted that dictated moral behavior, or what they defined as moral behavior. While the Temperance Movement is no longer considered active, in many ways the same sense of moral superiority still exists today and a great many people believe that their opinions and views should be legislated and therefore forced on those who disagree with them.
