	Temperance Movement
		The Temperance movement was a movement to control alcohol consumption, arising early in the 19th century, when social aid was negligible and when a majority of Canadians were self-employed as farmers, fishermen or small businessmen.

		The temperance movement was the creature of a society that was already fading when its prohibition victories were won.

		An organized temperance movement began in Georgia in the late 1820s and, after early difficulties, flourished through the 1930s.

	lyrics and borrowed tunes of the american temperance movement by paul sanders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

	Temperance, Teetotalism, and Addiction in the Nineteenth Century
		The teetotal movement began as a reaction against what it viewed as the hypocrisy of arguments for moderation and middle-class patronage; its leadership was more working class, and it had more ties to political movements such as Chartism.
		Neither temperance nor teetotalism contained a concept of "addiction" as a disease; both viewed it more as a moral failing that the individual could correct if surrounded with better influences, such as alternative venues to pubs, community meetings at which members told their personal stories, propagandistic literature, and rituals such as the pledge.
		The temperance campaigns against drunkenness were a symptom of larger middle class ideals, such as a distaste for mobs and their entertainments, the taking of recreation with one's family, participation in religion, and the ideology of thrift with its stress on individual self-respect, personal moral and physical effort, and prudence.
