Which is these is true of the temperance movement at the beginning of the 1800’s in america

At the beginning of the 1800's, the Temperance Mmovement believed people should decrease the amount of alcohol they drank.

Explanation:

The Temperance Movement criticizes drunkenness and emphasizes the negative consequences of alcohol consumption. Initially, they started from moral arguments. Today, the emphasis is almost entirely on the health effects of drinking. The movement originated in the 1800s in response to increasing drinking and alcoholism. Religious, scientific and progressive discourse mixed with this.

Before 1800, excessive drinking was not considered a social problem. Drinking was a matter that only concerned the drunk and his or her family. This changed during the 1800s as alcohol consumption increased. Industrialization made the production of drinks cheaper, and rising wages also increased disposable income. Alcohol therefore became available to almost everyone, resulting in increasing use. Therefore, the temperance movement came to seek for moderation in alcohol consumption. Only in the late-1800s this claim became a struggle for the total ban on alcohol consumption.

Resistance to excessive alcoholism originally started from moral objections, as there was a strong connection with Protestantism. Religious values such as austerity were invoked to keep people from drinking.
