Temperance Movement
No more alchohol!
Rally against the machine!
Drinking creates crime and people are wasting their lives in the bars, neglecting their families, and ruining the fabric of American society.
The Problem
Low-wage factory workers who worked 13 hours a day and suffered horrible working conditions turned to alcohol to find happiness and purpose in life.
The Reform
Many locals bars were forced to close and advertisements promoted abstaining from drinking. This eventually led to the passing of the 18th amendment.
