The Temperance Movement started mainly in housewives. They were fed up with seeing their husbands drunk and and fed up with the violence that came out of their drunk husbands. The ideas of temperance were mainly spread through the pulpit. Once temperance groups began proliferating throughout the U.S., the movement became political and it was passed in 1919 as the 18th amendment to the Constitution.
