the temperance movement
took root in America

and how it became this
national phenomenon.

So, a lot of it had to do
with temperance societies.

I mentioned that the
American Temperance Society

But the American Temperance
Society really was this group

of upper-class Northern
white dudes saying,

But this idea didn't take off
until the rise of teetotalism.

So, teetotalism is very
different than temperance.

that people should not temper
their alcohol consumption,

So, the origin of this word
is debated among historians

One is the idea that when
you would sign a pledge,

and join the American
Temperance Society, right here,

Or the other idea is that there
was this temperance activist

And he said, "You don't have
to stop drinking hard alcohol,

and that's where teetotalism
came from, his stutter.

Just kind of a fun little
factoid about teetotalism.

But this idea of signing a
pledge to drink no alcohol

was really popular among
these different societies

was different than the
American Temperance Society

because it kind of looked
a little bit more like

the 19th century version
of Alcoholics Anonymous.

People would come together
and talk about their problem.

it wasn't super effective
in stopping people

from drinking alcohol because
a pledge, people realized,

wasn't actually going to stop
alcoholics from drinking.

However, the Washingtonian
Temperance Society

So, during this time, there were also lots

of prohibitory laws being
passed by the states.

and so they needed to
do something legally.

The first temperance law was
passed by Maine in 1838, Maine,

and this law just outlawed
the sale of hard liquor.

started banning alcohol
consumption altogether.

So, this was kinda happening
all throughout here

and 12-15 states had some sort
of regulatory law on alcohol.

So, over this time period,
from the 1830s to the 1860s,

like they were up here with
the American Temperance Society

and the Washingtonian Temperance Society,

to stop drinking hard alcohol,
there were gonna be laws

there was also a big
social and media campaign

So, right over here is
The Drunkard's Progress.

This was in 1846, so Drunkard's
Progress, right over here.

And The Drunkard's
Progress, as you can see,

shows the kind of cyclic
nature of the alcoholic.

He is not going to be going
to the factory today for work.

but as your average guy just
having a drink here or there.

Then you would see them go
through each of these steps,

Over here, Step 5 seems
like he's just hanging out
