The Women's Christian Temperance Movement (WCT) was a group of women in the early 1900's attempting to make the consumption, sale, or making of alcohol illegal. It was founded by Carry Nation who was very anti-immigrant. At the time Irish were the number one immigrants in america bringing there drinking habits with them. Nation and her followers would walk into bars and saloons with an axe and completely destroy the whole place while reading verses from The Bible. From 1900-1917, 1/2 of all US States prohibited alcohol. By 1920, 100% of all states adapted the 18th amendment making alcohol illegal. It would remain illegal until 1933 when it was made legal again by the 21st amendment.

Who was Frances willard?
Frances Willard lived from 1839-1898. She was very active in America's women's suffrage movement, trying to get women the right to vote and expanding their opportunities in society. But she is best known for her work in the temperance movement: she was the founder of the WCTU (Women's Christian Temperance Union), an organization whose main goal was to ban alcohol. It was her belief that drinking was the cause of most of the social problems in the United States, and her organization actively campaigned to close saloons (as bars used to be called) and to make it illegal to drink alcoholic beverages. She was a major influence in the ultimate passage of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, making alcohol illegal-- the so-called Prohibition amendment.

The king and duke's lecture on temperance is hypocritical because they themselves are not temperate individuals. They engage in dishonest and manipulative behavior, such as scamming people for money and exploiting situations for their own gain, which contradicts the values of temperance they are trying to preach. This inconsistency highlights their lack of moral integrity and credibility as teachers of temperance.
