Chapter Review Quiz
Learning Objective 1.1 Understand the events connected to the temperance movement and the
passage of the Volstead Act and Prohibition.
[Q1]
What were the European settlers’ views on alcohol when they first came to colonize the United States?
a. Alcohol led to alcoholism, which was viewed as a disease.
b. Alcohol could corrupt both mind and body.
c. Alcohol was considered a healthy substance.
d. Alcohol was okay if it was used in moderation.
[Feedback to Answer Choice 1]
In 1784, Dr. Benjamin Rush argued that alcoholism was a disease, and his writings marked the initial
development of the temperance movement. This was considerably later in time than the arrival of the first
European settlers.
[Feedback to Answer Choice 2]
As time passed, the production and consumption of alcohol caused enough concern to precipitate several
versions of the temperance movement. The first of these began in the early 1800s, when clergymen took
the position that alcohol could corrupt both mind and body and asked people to take a pledge to refrain
from the use of distilled spirits. This was considerably later in time than the arrival of the first European
settlers.
[Feedback to Answer Choice 3] [Correct]
Alcoholic beverages have been a part of this nation’s past since European settlers arrived. Early colonists
had a high regard for alcoholic beverages because alcohol was considered a healthy substance with
preventive and curative capabilities rather than an intoxicant. Alcohol played a central role in promoting a
sense of conviviality and community.
[Feedback to Answer Choice 4]
The temperance movement’s initial goal was the replacement of excessive drinking with more moderate
and socially approved levels of drinking. Between 1825 and 1850, thinking about the use of alcohol began
to change from temperance-as-moderation to temperance-as-abstinence. This was considerably later in
time than the arrival of the first European settlers.

Which group was instrumental in the development of the precursor to self-help groups like Alcoholics
Anonymous?
a. The Women’s Christian Temperance group
b. Daughters of Rechab
c. The Washingtonian group
d. The Sisters of Sumaria

drugs other than alcohol can be traced back to the early colonization and settlement of the United States.
[Feedback to Answer Choice 3]

settlement of the United States.
[Feedback to Answer Choice 4]
While many drugs were popular during the 1960s, such as LSD, marijuana, and heroin, these drugs
weren’t the earliest known use of drugs for nonmedical reasons. The nonmedical use of drugs other than
alcohol can be traced back to the early colonization and settlement of the United States.
