Temperance League

The Temperance League was an organization advocating for the reduction or prohibition of alcohol consumption, aiming to promote healthier lifestyles and social well-being. Active mainly in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it sought to persuade individuals and communities to abstain from alcohol through education, moral appeals, and sometimes political action. The League was part of the larger temperance movement, which ultimately contributed to national alcohol bans like Prohibition in the United States. Its efforts reflected concerns about alcohol's negative effects on personal health, family stability, and social order.
