Temperance conventions in New England and Rhode Island
Two Christian gatherings discussed in Providence and Rhode Island debated total abstinence versus licensing. The Providence meeting drew nearly two hundred from churches and Young Men's groups, urging unity across denominations. A Boston convention emphasized harmony though clergy opposed abstinence, while Rhode Island delegates focused on extending religious influence and practical aids through Young Men’s Christian Associations.
