Nineteenth-century reformers believed that a successful temperance movement would help alleviate all of the following EXCEPT:
  1. Domestic violence
  2. Public drunkenness
  3. Absenteeism in church
  4. Employee absences
  5. Voter fraud
Explanation
Answer: E - The temperance movement did not have to do with voter fraud. Instead, it was designed to instill a sense of propriety to the lower classes. This would manifest through better church attendance and more orderly streets. In addition, the temperance movement was deeply connected with women's attempts to address the domestic violence that often accompanied drunkenness.
