Answer:

Prohibition Historical Context

Explanation:

The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution–which banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors–ushered in a period in American history known as Prohibition. Prohibition was ratified by the states on January 16, 1919 and officially went into effect on January 17, 1920, with the passage of the Volstead Act. Despite the new legislation, Prohibition was difficult to enforce. The increase of the illegal production and sale of liquor (known as “bootlegging”), the proliferation of speakeasies (illegal drinking spots) and the accompanying rise in gang violence and other crimes led to waning support for Prohibition by the end of the 1920s. In early 1933, Congress adopted a resolution proposing a 21st Amendment to the Constitution that would repeal the 18th. The 21st Amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933, ending Prohibition.

Why is control of Kashmir disputed? Why do you think this conflict has lasted for more than 50 years?
hodyreva [135]

Mainly it is due to a piece of dirt, and a territorial dispute. India and Pakistan freed themselves from Britain in 1947, and the Indian Independence Act gave Kashmir the opportunity to freely choose which ever country they wanted to accede or join with, whether it be India or Pakistan. The leader of Kashmir chose India, resulting in a two-year war and also resulting in both countries being nuclear armed. It is pure ego and a fight for money and power.

What is Luther Standing Bear’s claim regarding the Carlisle School?
bekas [8.4K]

Luther Standing Bear’s claim regarding the Carlisle School was the changes forced upon Native students at Carlisle were harmful. Thus the correct answer is B.

<h3>What was Carlisle School?</h3>

General Richard Henry Pratt founded the United States Indian Industrial School in 1879 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It acted as the goal of the Euro-Americans, to reconcile Native Americans into the dominant culture.

As Pratt tried to push indigenous to become "Americanized" and abandon their own origins, this assimilation increasingly closely resembled a violent conversion process.

Therefore, option B the changes forced upon Native students at Carlisle were harmful is the appropriate answer as it keeps natives away from their cultural identity.
