Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the development of the Sons of Temperance, an altruistic secret society of the 19th century, through the annual reports of the organization's leaders. These records provide insight into the group's methods for fighting alcohol abuse and the social conditions that fueled the temperance movement. Following the creation of the society in 1842, the book traces the group's growth and the internal and external challenges it faced. Members hoped to achieve their goals through legal prohibition and education, and the book explains their strategies for achieving these aims. However, the reader discovers that the effectiveness of their methods depended on local conditions, and the book presents illuminating case studies that show the temperance movement's influence on public policy. Ultimately, the author submits that this book presents fresh insights into how social movements function and the evolution of 19th-century American society.
