Lyman Beecher
The American Temperance Society was formed on February 13, 1826 in Boston.
Lyman Beecher was a Presbyterian minister and leader of the American Temperance Society. He was a powerful proponent of moral reform and chief architect of the voluntary establishment of religion.
The Temperance Movement happened because some people in society viewed the way others were living their lives to be contrary to what they believed was right. It wasn't necessarily unjustified; most temperance dealt with the very social issue of alcoholism and the need to have moderation. When the Temperance Movement began dictating how others should live their lives and judging those who did not, a false sense of moral superiority came over the Movement. This led to laws being enacted that dictated moral behavior, or what they defined as moral behavior. While the Temperance Movement is no longer considered active, in many ways the same sense of moral superiority still exists today and a great many people believe that their opinions and views should be legislated and therefore forced on those who disagree with them.
