99 & what was the temperance movement?

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 elimination of evil spirits. The movement spread rapidly, and in 12 years they had 1,250,000 members. The group was called The American Temperance Society, and they were against beer and wine. 

The government tried to assist in the movement, and in Great Britain, they heavily taxed the pubs. Movements all over the world were put in place to regulate drinking in public bars. This meant you had to have a license and there where certain opening times.

The movement declined when the crime rate went through the rood due to mafias. The government also stopped assisting the movement because they knew the beer alcohol would still be sold, and they wanted to tax it.

Hope this Helps! :)

Ifound this on google “the existence of agglomeration economies is central to the explanation of how cities increase in size and population, which places the phenomenon on a larger scale. the concentration of economic activity in cities is one reason for their development and growth.” i hope this you for what your looking for.
