1840 Temperance Movement (8 Jan 1840 Jahr – 3 Sept 1845 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Human quality that induces to use or do things in moderation.

In 1838, the state of Massachusetts passed a temperance law banning the sale of spirits in less than 15-gallon quantities; though the law was repealed two years later, it set a precedent for such legislation. Maine passed the first state prohibition laws in 1846, followed by a stricter law in 1851.
