History

Nana76 [90]3 years ago
7 0

Many North American settlements were founded by joint stock companies because it allowed multiple investors to pool their money together, as many of them could not afford to fund a trip on their own.

Joint stock companies limited the risk and the amount of capital an individual needed in order to be involved in sponsoring a trip to North America. These joint stock companies helped explorers to fund their trips. In return, the investors would receive a certain amount of the resources found or money made of the trip. With the possibility of great profits from new resources found in North America, many wealthy investors used this opportunity to increase their wealth.

Why didn't the federal local governments collect an excise tax on alcohol during prohibition
astraxan [27]

For decades prior to the Prohibition (i.e., the legal ban of alcoholic drinks) made possible by the Eighteen Amendment, different Christian churches and organizations had been objecting to the consumption of alcohol since they considered it as the source of most debauchery and moral decadence. Their goal was made clear to the federal government: alcohol should be completely banned in order to clean society up. An excise tax on alcohol would have been rejected by all the moralistic groups advocating for prohibition as a mild and ineffective measure
