Prohibition Movement
Many people believed that alcohol was the cause of society's problems. Physical abuse was a result of people spending their wages getting drunk. Employers believed that workers getting drunk made them less efficient. In 1874, a group of women started the temperance movement. The Temperance Movement concentrated on alcohol reduction, later, it pressed for Prohibition. Manufacture, Sale and Consumption of Alcohol was banned by law.
