The temperance movement, which emerged in the 19th century, sought to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption due to its perceived negative effects on society, including crime and family disintegration. Activists, often motivated by moral, religious, and social concerns, laid the groundwork for the prohibition movement, which culminated in the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. This amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages. However, the unintended consequences of prohibition, including a rise in organized crime, ultimately led to its repeal in 1933 with the 21st Amendment.
Prohibition.
There is no question that the temperance movement, particularly, the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), was the most important political force which resulted in Prohibition in 1920. There could never have been Prohibition without the WCTU.
National Prohibition largely originated from demands of the women's movement (primarily the Woman's Christian Temperance Union or WCTU) and Protestant churches.
The adoption of Prohibition in the United States was primarily driven by the temperance movement, which gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Advocates argued that alcohol consumption led to social issues such as crime, domestic violence, and moral decay. The movement was supported by various religious and social groups, including the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League. Ultimately, the 18th Amendment was ratified in 1919, leading to the nationwide ban on the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages.
That was the Temperance movement, popular around the last turn of the century.

The temperance movement and prohibition are closely related in that the former laid the groundwork for the latter. The temperance movement, which emerged in the 19th century, advocated for the reduction or elimination of alcohol consumption due to its perceived social and moral harms. This growing sentiment ultimately culminated in the enactment of prohibition in the United States with the 18th Amendment in 1920, which legally banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. The movement's goals of promoting sobriety and social reform directly influenced the push for legal prohibition.
