Temperance Movement. The Temperance Movement was an organized effort during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to limit or outlaw the consumption and production of alcoholic beverages in the United States. During the early nineteenth century, many citizens of the United States became convinced that many Americans were living in an immoral manner.
Temperance was also important because it connected to many other reform movements that sprang up in the country between the American Revolution and the Civil War. Many of these movements were motivated by a renewed interest in religion called the Second Great Awakening.
