The reformers reconciled their desire to create moral order with their quest to enhance personal freedom. This they did by stressing liberation from external restraints, like slavery, and internal servitude, such as drinking alcohol. According to them, a lot of people were "slaves" to various sins and liberating them from this enslavement would enable them to compete economically.
