Caldwell Young People's Temperance Society (N.J.)

By the early 19th century, consumption of alcohol was viewed in some quarters as a national problem, and an increased campaign against alcohol consumption began. In 1826, the National Temperance Society was born, followed six years later by the States Temperance Union. Out of this movement came the Caldwell Township Temperance Society, and its auxiliary, the Caldwell Young People's Temperance Society, founded in 1834.
