CIDs of months past

Final Fantasy was such a good game.

Definition
Temper is a level 4 Black spell that raises the target's attack by 10 points and can be repeatedly stacked. It also has something to do with abstaining from the consumption of alcohol?
Examples
Temperance was an important thing for many Christian crazies back in the day. They thought that alcohol impaired the senses and that its drinking was irreligious, so they chose not to drink it.
Alcohol has always been common in America, and the temperance movement was met with fierce resistance.
Unhealthy drinking water, and absence of affordable alternatives like coffee and tea, and the desire to escape from difficult surroundings prompted many to drink. Alcohol also represented many calories in a drink that was common and cheap. Tastes good, too.
Drinking and its effects became more apparent in the 19th century, so more people opposed it. Drinking establishments grew exponentially with the population.
Genteel culture and changing tastes also harbored disdain for alcohol. Coffee, tea, and clean water became available and many thought that alcohol was no longer needed.
Historical Significance
The temperance movement was spearheaded by Protestants who thought that drunkards could not seek slavation---I mean, salvation. Funny typo, that. In any case, business owners also helped the movement because alcohol lowered productivity and increased risks. They thought that they could increase safety and clean up the workers to turn them into clean, self-governing, peaceful workers. Yay.
General Significance
Temperance is a very important part of any battlefield strategy. Lucky that I chose not only a black mage, but a ninja as well. Both can cast medium-level black magic spells. First, the warrior uses the giant's gloves to cast Saber on himself, and black mage and ninja start whoring with Temper. The warrior's attack quickly rises above 3000 per hit. It's a surefire way to defeat any boss, except perhaps Omega.


Grant's attacks were "inexplicable and incredible butchery."
Historical Significance
Grant's tactics were terrible but they won the war. He hit the enemy where it hurt, broke their will, killed their spirit.
General Significance
Stim and hold position. Watch as the drones shatter into piles of blood. Why chase troops when there are overlords to be killed?


Many farmers hired sodbusters to bust their sod and open the land to get at the groundwater. Rainfall was very sparse; after the late 1880s, crop failure drove many families off the plains. It was only after farmers learned dry-farming techniques and got different strains of wheat that they were able to be very successful.
Historical Significance
Agriculture was really hard.

John D. Rockefeller, the petroleum baron, also donated his fortune, creating the Rockefeller Foundation, as well as several other foundations. This was a queer sort of ambivalence: the rich gave back to society while strongly preaching about individualism and using their money in wasteful, exravagant ways.
Historical Significance
Punk rock reigned supreme in the land of the oppressed.
General Significance
3 cultural themes: belief that economy operates on slef-correcting principles such as supply and demand; ideas of social Darwinism; an assumption that people are motivated primarily by a desire for material gain.
