The Temperance Movement sprang up during the Antebellum period as one of the many reform movements that developed in response to the Second Great Awakening. Temperance advocates sought to ban alcohol, seeing drunkenness as a threat to moral society and believing moral reform to be necessary. The Temperance Movement later bore fruit during the Progressive Era, when the 18th Amendment was passed banning the sale of alcoholic beverages throughout the United States.

While the 18th Amendment is the only amendment to the US Constitution to be repealed by another amendment (conveniently enough, the 21st Amendment), the Temperance Movement still has a legacy in the United States, which is the only nation in the Western Hemisphere with a drinking age of 21.

This video will be helpful for students taking AP US History and similar US History survey courses.
