13 feb 1826 anni - American Temperance Society (ATS) Founded

Descrizione:

After a while, temperance groups increasingly pressed for the mandatory prohibition of alcohol rather than for voluntary abstinence. The American Temperance Society was the first U.S. social movement organization to mobilize massive and national support for a specific reform cause. They believed that drinking was imoral and a threat to American success.
