Answer:

Prohibition ultimately failed because at least half the adult population wanted to carry on drinking, policing of the Volstead Act wasmade  with contradictions, biases and corruption, and the lack of a specific ban on consumption hopelessly muddied the legal waters.

Discuss how and why Rhode Island New Hampshire Connecticut where established
Murrr4er [49]
The first New England colonies, which included Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, were all founded in the 17th century, beginning with the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1620. All but New Hampshire were founded as havens for various religious groups, including Puritans, Separatists, and Quakers.

Rhode Island was founded by people who did not come directly from England. Roger Williams had ideas to turn Rhode Island into a tolerant and multicultural place that quickly became a home to dissenting Puritans, Baptists, Quakers, and Jews.

New Hampshire was authorized by the government to fish off of Portsmouth’s coast. Between 1623 and 1679, Thomas Hilton and David Thompson (and more) cleared the land, built houses, and prepared the colony for defense before the region was officially a colony. Their primary purpose was to export wood and fish for economic gain.

3) Please give two reasons why slaves needed in the "New World"
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The following is an excerpt from Jubilee: The Emergence of African-American Culture by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture of the New York Public Library (National Geographic Books,2003). Order it here.

"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"—Patrick Henry, Speech in the Virginia Convention, March, 1775.

African peoples were captured and transported to the Americas to work. Most European colonial economies in the Americas from the 16th through the 19th century were dependent on enslaved African labor for their survival.

According to European colonial officials, the abundant land they had "discovered" in the Americas was useless without sufficient labor to exploit it. Slavery systems of labor exploitation were preferred, but neither European nor Native American sources proved adequate to the task.

The trans-Saharan slave trade had long supplied enslaved African labor to work on sugar plantations in the Mediterranean alongside white slaves from Russia and the Balkans. This same trade also sent as many as 10,000 slaves a year to serve owners in North Africa, the Middle East, and the Iberian Peninsula.
