The Temperance movement that sought to persuade drinkers of alcohol to reduce consumption, or give it up altogether, was a particularly significant force throughout the United Kingdom in the second half of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th. In Hampshire two strands were quickly apparent; some advocated moderation of drinking habits while others campaigned for total abstinence, often referred to as teetotalism. County advocates of both views were often in conflict with each other, and with brewers and public house licensees who wanted no restrictions. Local and national temperance groups established societies in Hampshire, some providing sickness and death benefits. They flourished until about the second quarter of the 20th century when decline began, which accelerated until the movement had largely died out by 1970.
