- Lot Description
[TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT]. The Presbyterian Temperance Union Pledge. Circa 1910s. Original poster depicting a family enjoying a quiet evening at home and accompanied by approximately 150 signatures from citizens pledging to abstain from alcohol. 35 x 24?. Cardboard backed. Stains, chipping along extremities, creases. The Temperance Movement existed in the United States in various forms throughout the 19th century, however it wasn?t until its final decade that they began to amass real political power. Emboldened by President Woodrow Wilson?s sharp restrictions on alcohol sales in order to preserve grain supplies as well as the anti-German sentiment prevalent throughout the First World War, the movement began to press for a national prohibition on alcohol; a goal which was accomplished through passage of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1920. The amendment was repealed in its entirety via passage of the Twenty-Third Amendment in 1933.
