The American Temperance Society experienced a decline in membership in 1836 due to several factors, including internal disagreements over strategies and goals, as well as the rise of competing movements that focused on broader social reforms. Additionally, many members began to feel that the society's strict stance on total abstinence was too extreme, leading some to leave in search of more moderate approaches to alcohol consumption. Economic factors and changing social attitudes toward alcohol also played a role in diminishing the society's appeal.
