Why did Beecher compare intemperance to slavery and the slave trade?

History

Lyman talks about intemperance as something that is to be fought off. It mentions it as something terrible that ruins families and that we should execrate just as we execrate the cruelties of slave trade.
It isn't really a comparison. It more of an appeal to see one as a horrible thing just like we see the other.

In his own words:

"We execrate the cruelties of the slave trade—the husband torn from the bosom of his wife—the son from his father—brothers and sisters separated forever—whole families in a moment ruined! But are there no similar enormities to be witnessed in the United States? None indeed perpetrated by the bayonet—but many, very many, perpetrated by intemperance."

What was the effect of the Pilgrims landing in present-day Massachusetts instead of Virginia
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to practice religious freedom. ... The Pilgrims had a long and difficult journey across the Atlantic Ocean. A storm blew them off course so instead of landing in Virginia, they landed further north in Cape Cod. The Pilgrims decided to settle in this area and called it Plymouth.

Explanation:

The weather was much colder than what the Pilgrims had prepared for and the first winter was devastating. The Pilgrims struggled to build homes, and many families crowded into the few homes that were built. Food was scarce, and many Pilgrims starved to death that first winter.

Some people died. Some people were seasick. Other people became sick because there was not good food to eat. Because the journey took longer than they thought it would, the passengers and the sailors ran out of good food.
