Lincoln League was established by Anti-Saloon League founder Howard Hyde Russell in ca. 1903 to promote the signing of abstinence pledges by children; in 1912 the organization was renamed Lincoln-Lee Legion to make it more appealing to southern children and their parents. Both Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee were teetotalers. The society pledge called for a lifetime commitment to abstain from alcoholic beverages and pledge signing drives were heavily promoted at churches, Sunday schools, and temperance meetings.
