The temperance movement emerged in the early 19th century, primarily in the United States, advocating for the reduction or prohibition of alcohol consumption due to its perceived negative effects on society, families, and health. It gained momentum through various organizations, such as the American Temperance Society, and was closely linked to other social reform movements, including women's rights and abolitionism. The movement ultimately contributed to the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919, which established Prohibition, although this was later repealed in 1933 due to widespread noncompliance and negative social consequences.
