Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Temperance movement's focus on promoting morality through government intervention aligns with the values of a moralistic political subculture, which views government as a means of promoting the general welfare and morality of society. This is in contrast to individualistic subcultures that prioritize individual freedom and limited government intervention, and traditionalistic subcultures that value established social hierarchies and maintaining the status quo. While Texas has elements of all three subcultures, the success of the Temperance movement in mobilizing support for Prohibition is evidence of the influence of moralistic values in the state.
