History
1 answer:
dusya [7]3 years ago
4 0
The eighteenth amendment outlawing alcohol impacted the alcohol consumption of the general public. Decrease in alcohol consumption happened in low income families. However, illegal production and distribution of alcohol gave rise to organized crime and because of this consumption also began to rise. 

The most identifiable person who benefited in this amendment by defying it was Al Capone. He earned millions from the sale of illegal booze and in turn ventured out to other illegal businesses like prostitution, drugs, and gambling.

Why was the indian removal act considered to be controvesial?
ivolga24 [154]
The Indian Removal Act took place in the first half of the 1800s under the presidencies of Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren and directly led to the Trail of Tears, which resulted in the death of many members of tribes in the American South. It was considered controversial because the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the tribes' cause wherein the state of Georgia (which was actively seeking to evict the Indian inhabitants) was told it had no right to force their removal. Nevertheless, the president ordered their removal.
