The Smithsonian has posted an article asking---and answering that question.
The Smithsonian’s Peter Liebhold says efforts to control one’s environment also raised moral questions.
“There was this notion that trying to control the environment was going against God’s will,” says Liebhold, a curator in the division of work and industry at the National Museum of American History.

Motor Trend also has a story about the history of AC for automobiles HERE.
(So much for God's will! Are there ANY churches here in the deep south without any AC?)
Should we give it up, suffer the Summer heat, to satisfy the creator?
FYI: The Alabama Theater was the first in Alabama to offer air-conditioning! (Paramount built the 2,000-seat movie theater on Third Avenue North in 1927 as Alabama's first air-conditioned public building. In 1935, its Mickey Mouse Club chapter was the world's largest.)
