Lyman Beecher
The American Temperance Society was formed on February 13, 1826 in Boston.
Lyman Beecher was a Presbyterian minister and leader of the American Temperance Society. He was a powerful proponent of moral reform and chief architect of the voluntary establishment of religion.
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.

the American Temperance Society
The purpose of the American Temperance Society and the American Temperance Union was to promote the reduction or elimination of alcohol consumption in the United States during the 19th century. These organizations advocated for temperance as a means to improve society by reducing crime, poverty, and domestic violence, which they associated with alcohol use. They sought to raise public awareness about the dangers of alcohol and encouraged individuals to abstain from drinking through moral persuasion and social reform efforts. Ultimately, their activities played a significant role in the broader temperance movement, which eventually contributed to the passage of Prohibition in the 1920s.
The temperance movement and educational reform were two aspects of American society targeted by reformers.

The American Society of the Promotion of Temperance was formed in Boston on February 13, 1826. All of the members took a vow to abstain from distilled spirits while they worked to expand woman's rights and abolish slavery.
The American Temperance Society, founded in 1826, aimed to promote the reduction and eventual prohibition of alcohol consumption in the United States, advocating for moral reform and public health. The American Temperance Union, established in 1833, sought to coordinate national efforts in this movement, emphasizing the dangers of alcohol and encouraging individuals to pledge abstinence. Both organizations played a crucial role in the larger temperance movement, which ultimately contributed to the Prohibition era in the early 20th century.
