Temperance Movement
Is this about US History? If so, good examples from the 19th century include the Abolitionist movement, aimed at abolishing slavery. Another is the temperance movement, with strong leadership from the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and another is the women's suffrage movement seeking voting rights for women. In the 20th century, the Civil Rights Movement, the feminist movement and the anti-abortion movement are good examples (the latter two frequently opposed each other).
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.
