Question

To bring an end to excessive drinking, many women in the 1800s

Answer 1

Many women in the 1880s joined the temperature movement in order to bring an end to excessive drinking

• This movement was mainly a social drive in contrast to the consumption of alcoholic products.

• The temperature movement started in the early 1800s as a drive to limit drinking in the US.  

• The movement united concern for general social ills with religious mawkishness and practical health considerations in a way that was tempting to many middle-class reformers.
