1858 50c US Seated Half Token – US Temperance Union

Ah, the Temperance Movement. The Maine law, passed in 1851 in Maine , was one of the first statutory implementations of the developing temperance movement in the United States . Temperance activist Neal Dow helped force the law into existence. The passage of the law, which prohibited the sale of all alcoholic beverages except for "medicinal, mechanical or manufacturing purposes," quickly spread elsewhere, and by 1855 twelve states had joined Maine in total prohibition. These were "dry" states; states without prohibition laws were "wet." The act was unpopular with many working class people and immigrants (notably Catholics). Opposition to the law turned violent in Portland , Maine on June 2, 1855 during an incident known as the Maine law riot. A national temperance union was formed in the United States 1826. Shortly thereafter, a second national temperance union was organized and the two groups merged in 1833 to form the American Temperance Union. The official publication of the Union was the Journal of the American Temperance Union. The Union and its publication were influential in promoting the temperance movement. – Wikipedia
