The Temperance Movement was a social movement that sought to improve family life by discouraging drinking alcohol. Moral reformers thought that alcohol restriction would make prisons and mental asylums unneeded. Groups like the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) were formed to combat the ills of alcohol.
The Women's Suffrage Movement used marches, picket lines, and protests to pressure the passage of laws to help women get the right to vote through the Nineteenth Amendment.
