The Quakers (as they were commonly called) were officially The Religious Society of Friends, and they believed the Spirit of God spoke to them directly through their "inner light." The Quakers had suffered a fair amount of persecution in England as a nontraditional sect.

The temperance movement truly started in the 1820's when people started thinking that beer and wine brought evil spirits into the body. The movement was not originally against alcoholism, but for the <span>elimination of evil spirits. The movement spread rapidly, and in 12 years they had 1,250,000 members. The group was called </span><span>The </span>American Temperance Society, and they were against beer and wine.
