The most likely cause of an increase in the crime rate from 1920 to 1933 was the introduction of prohibition. Prohibition banned the production and sale of alcoholic beverages. This ban afforded the chance to make alot of money by producing and selling illegal alcohol. Prohibition also saw the huge increase in organized crime.

Mice21 [21]
Essentially, there are a lot of reasons as to why people turn to both religion and philosophy. This could have something to do with the way they were brought up or their very own beliefs. Each religion has different ways and teachings. For Medieval China, they were traditionally into Taoism and Confucianism since these two provided ethical guides to the proper behavior of individuals and officials. Taoism promoted the inner peace of individuals and harmony with their surroundings.

In what way did railroad help the nations economy grow
Butoxors [25]

Railroads helped the nations economy grow tremendously. It changed the entire Industrial revolution and made it more easier.

Rail roads helped the economy grow by:

-Transporting goods

-Use of transportation to and from places

-Rise the demand for materials

Trains helped businesses gets supplies around and made it less complicated. If there were no trains, the industry's during that time would be in a struggle because it would be complicated to transport things throughout the country.

Before trains were invented, people used horses to travel from place to place, and that takes a very long time and is very exhausting. Trains solved the problem of transportation. Trains could carry many passengers and could take them to a certain destination as quickly as possible, while being safe.

Another reason why rail roads helped the U.S economy was by making the demands for certain materials rise. Materials like steel and wood were in very high demand because people needed a lot of quantities of steel and wood to make the rail road tracks. People sold wood and steel for a high price, which helped the economy a lot.
