The significant social movement that emerged during the Temperance Movement was the push for the prohibition of alcohol. Originating in the early 19th century, temperance advocates sought to curtail the consumption of alcoholic beverages, citing social problems such as domestic violence and poverty associated with excessive drinking. Organizations like the American Temperance Society formed to promote abstinence, often linking their cause to moral and religious beliefs. The movement gained momentum, leading to the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919, which enacted Prohibition in the United States. Although Prohibition was later repealed in 1933, the movement's legacy influenced social reform and public health campaigns.
