Prohibition increased corruption in the United States during the early 1900's.  

Prohibition was a period in which the sale and distribution of alcohol was illegal in the United States.  This was done through a constitutional ban on production and sale of alcohol.  It was outlawed but this did not prevent people from wanting to consume it.  When there is demand for a good, even if it is outlawed, there will be supply.

People started to trade alcohol and since it was an illegal activity it gave big profits to those risking doing it and violence between trading groups started, just like with any other illegal activity. Gang groups started to compete for territory control over alcohol trading and this widespred in the country specially in big cities like Chicago with criminals such as Al Capone.    

Corruption was a natural effect of this alcohol ban, since these criminal groups used bribes and corruption tactics to keep their illegal business running.

Did the strike succeed in getting laborers the changes they wanted in working conditions?
Tanya [424]

Unions were successful in solving the workers' problems only when the workers had high skills, and there were few workers with those skills. Nevertheless, unions helped other workers by bringing attention to their low wages and poor working conditions.

I hope this answers your question! So sorry if it's incorrect!

Give one way in which the role of religion was different in pre-modern and modern eras
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Religious practices were much more harsh during mideveal timespeople who did not BEILEIVE in Christianity or their local religion were often beheaded or crucified and of course nowadays that doesn't happen anymore it's crazy to think that people were killed for not believe in a specified religion. Galileo beleive it or not was a apart of this. He was atheist and he had to go to court and say to everyone that he believes in Christianity he hesitantly proclaimed that he was Cristian but before being escorted out of the court room the whispered to a guard "I'm an atheist."
