How do you elaborate temperance?

The word temperance is very rich in meaning when we consider that it is related to the word temper. Various materials undergo extreme conditions such as pressure and temperature to be tempered. This means that they will resist and be fortified against conditions that would have previously compromised their integrity. When we apply this reasoning on a moral and spiritual level, we see that temperance is moral integrity; an integrity that is the product of a process of various moral and spiritual challenges. Temperance is our degree of usefulness to our creator(as a glass or tool is useful to its owner).

What did the American temperance union demand?

The Temperance Movement happened because some people in society viewed the way others were living their lives to be contrary to what they believed was right. It wasn't necessarily unjustified; most temperance dealt with the very social issue of alcoholism and the need to have moderation. When the Temperance Movement began dictating how others should live their lives and judging those who did not, a false sense of moral superiority came over the Movement. This led to laws being enacted that dictated moral behavior, or what they defined as moral behavior. While the Temperance Movement is no longer considered active, in many ways the same sense of moral superiority still exists today and a great many people believe that their opinions and views should be legislated and therefore forced on those who disagree with them.
