Today we started looking at the temperance movement in America to end alcohol. The root of the problem started with largely Americae's need for a drink that would not make people sick. In the 1800's the water supply was causing illnesses in America, and water was a constant problem. Many people drank alcohol to help with this. Many groups had a problem with those though and pushed for the end of it in America. We looked largely at a book written to end alcohol some 45 years before it eventually succeeded.
