Temperance in history primarily refers to the social and political movement aimed at reducing or prohibiting the consumption of Alcoholic Beverages. It gained significant momentum in the 19th and early 20th centuries, driven by concerns over alcohol's impact on society, health, and family life. The movement culminated in the enactment of Prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933, which made the production, sale, and transportation of alcohol illegal. Ultimately, the movement reflected broader themes of moral reform and social change during that era.
