After the Civil War, alcohol became very cheap and easy to obtain, leading to increased consumption and social issues. This rise in availability and the associated problems, such as public drunkenness and domestic violence, were significant factors contributing to the temperance movement. Advocates sought to limit or eliminate alcohol consumption, believing it would lead to a more stable and moral society. The movement gained momentum as a response to the perceived negative impacts of alcohol on individuals and communities.
