It was a women's organization established in 1873/74, aimed at promoting a 'sober and pure world' through Christianity and abstinence. They were the driving force behind the Prohibition of alcohol in the USA in the Thirties and would if given the opportunity, also have included tobacco in the Prohibition.
As it was, the Temperance Movement unwittingly mostly promoted the rise to power of organized crime, because it was the huge and hugely profitable market for smuggled and otherwise illegal liquor that suddenly opened up for criminal gangs and that gave them the money and power to remain a dominant factor for decades to come.
