<span>On July 20, 1636, a trader named John Oldham was attacked on a trading voyage to Block Island. He and several of his crew were killed and his ship was looted by Narragansett-allied Indians who sought to discourage English settlers from trading with Pequot rivals. In the weeks that followed, colonial officials from Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, assumed the Narragansett were likely culprits. Puritan officials became equally suspicious of the Narragansett. The colonial English response to Oldham's death, the last in a series of escalating incidents, has traditionally been viewed as the beginning of the Pequot War. SO in he end It was Oldham's death that caused the Pequot War.</span>
Who is that? Is this even a question?
Answer:
The temperance movement is a social movement against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Participants in the movement typically criticize alcohol intoxication or promote complete abstinence from alcohol (teetotalism), and its leaders emphasize alcohol's negative effects on people's health, personalities and family lives. Typically the movement promotes alcohol education and it also demands the passage of new laws against the sale of alcohol, either regulations on the availability of alcohol, or the complete prohibition of it. They thought it would help so people wouldn't be drunk and stuff like that.
