Temperance

Strongly agree

No

From the perspective of the Temperance ideology, which emphasizes moderation, self-control, and societal harmony, there would be a preference for maintaining historical and cultural names as a sign of respect and understanding between nations. The Gulf of Mexico is a name steeped in history, recognized internationally, and reflects the shared environmental and economic importance of this body of water to all bordering countries, not just the United States. Changing its name to the Gulf of America could be viewed as an unnecessary assertion of dominance and a move away from the principles of cooperation and mutual respect. Therefore, adherents of Temperance would likely agree with keeping the name unchanged, seeing it as a reflection of stability, respect for history, and international cooperation.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The ideology of Temperance, historically rooted in moderation and self-restraint, particularly in the context of alcohol consumption, would likely view the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as unnecessary and potentially provocative. The movement, especially in its 19th and early 20th-century American context, focused on moral and social reforms rather than geopolitical or nationalistic endeavors. Renaming a significant geographical feature like the Gulf of Mexico, which borders multiple countries and holds historical and cultural significance beyond the United States, could be seen as an act of American exceptionalism and disregard for international harmony and respect. The Temperance movement's core values of moderation and respect for others' rights and traditions would likely lead to a strong disagreement with the proposal to rename it the Gulf of America.
