Answer: All these factors caused the expansion of Western society and new geographical discoveries.
Explanation:
It is like a man to search for the unknown and seek answers. After the Renaissance, the world became a freer place. Individuals like Christopher Columbus or Vasco de Gama were prominent individuals in the societies in which they lived. They expressed a desire to discover new sea routes and embark on a "journey to the unknown". For this purpose, they used new technological achievements such as the compass and advances in science, specifically cartography. In these efforts, the states or kingdoms saw an opportunity for profit and colonization, so they decided to finance these expeditions.
The greatest social shifts during this time in the United States were caused by the Second Great Awakening, which was a religious revival that sought in part to curb immigration. This of course led to calls for prohibition, because it was believed that mostly immigrants were the heavy drinkers.
