The temperance movement, led primarily by organizations such as the American Temperance Society, was largely responsible for the prohibition laws that passed in many US states in the 1830s and 1840s. These groups advocated for the reduction or elimination of alcohol consumption, citing moral, health, and social issues associated with drinking. Their efforts culminated in a growing public sentiment against alcohol, leading to various state-level prohibitions and regulations.
