Tactics+and+Strategies

The Temperance Movement’s greatest strategy for getting their message out there was international cooperation. Many believe that the first group to recognize the Temperance Movement as a national influential group was the Order of the Good Templars founded in Utica, New York in 1851. Other national groups started to agree and fallow the Temperance Movement such as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (1874) and the Anti-Saloon League (1895). All of these groups began to come together and gather their political power. Their strategy changed from trying to get social support from Americans to trying to agitate the government to control liquor. They did this by using educational, social, and political tactics. Because of their constant work at trying to make alcohol illegal, they succeeded in getting many liquor laws passed nationwide. A major factor in the laws being passed by the government was the support of many churches. Industrialists also supported the Temperance Movement because they faced poor worker productivity and believed that the poor productivity was workers drinking on the job. The Temperance Movement became a major nationwide force and was supported internationally in the 1880s.
