The Temperance Movement

The temperance movement was the effort to prohibit the drinking of alcohol. Liquor was used to wash down the salted meat and fish that was the major part of the American diet, and doctors would dose their patients with whiskey or brandy before operating. Many Americans recognized drunkenness as a serious problem. In 1826 the American Temperance Society was founded. By 1833, some 6,000 local temperance societies dotted the country. These societies rallied, created pamphlets, and brought about a decline in the consumption of alcohol that would continue into the 1860's.
