The temperance movement sought to reduce or eliminate the consumption of Alcoholic Beverages, advocating for moderation or complete abstinence. It emerged in the 19th century as a response to the social problems associated with alcohol, such as domestic violence and poverty. The movement gained significant traction, leading to the eventual enactment of Prohibition in the United States through the 18th Amendment in 1920. Ultimately, it aimed to promote moral and social improvement through the reduction of alcohol-related issues.
