1. How would life be different if prohibition in the United States existed today?

History
1 answer:
boyakko [2]3 years ago

Answer: Prohibition period from the early 1920s.

Explanation:

Many examples throughout history have had both positive and negative effects on society. Prohibition is one of the better examples. If alcohol were banned in the United States today, for example, there would be a "boom" of the country's black market. Alcohol would be made illegally and distributed on the black market. A positive response would be a reduction in the rate of violence and crime, given that a certain percentage of crime is linked to alcohol.

The Prohibition Period, however, proved to be a failed experiment in American history. The black market has risen sharply, and certain criminal groups have profited greatly. That profit is at the expense of the state since it is not legal. The ban creates a grey economy which badly affects the regular economy of the state.

Answer:

Louisiana Purchase was one of the biggest and most prosperous deals America managed to acquire in history. An entire part of the Western territory would come under American control, doubling the country’s size in minutes without a single battle being fought.

After the French Indian Wars, western parts of Louisiana were under the Spanish control while Eastern parts were under the British rule. After America got independence from the British, the western parts were still under the Spanish rule. These regions were of strategic importance in terms of commerce and trade. Spain ceded the entire Louisiana region to the French in return for some regions under Italy. France got back its control in the American regions. The presence of European countries on its western borders troubled America. The then President, Thomas Jefferson, offered Napoleon Bonaparte two million dollars to buy parts of the lower Mississippi. He later increased the cash price to ten million dollars that would allow America to buy New Orleans and West Florida. France on the other hand did not see any financial gains by staying on in the region. It offered America the entire western regions of Louisiana to Livingston for 15 million dollars. The deal was signed and with a single agreement, the size of the US doubled. This deal aided in making the country one of the largest in the world. The resources and richness of the lands acquired were unimaginable.

How would the world be different if the British had won the American Revolution? 3 sentases plz.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

 the British victory over their colonial rebels would have deprived  other potential revolutionary movements in the Spanish New World of  their inspiration. Instead of America going to war with Mexico in 1848,  it is likely that the expanded British New World Empire would have gone  to war against, and likely won against, the Spanish North American  colony. As part of the victory treaty, the Brits likely would have  claimed the same territory from the New World Spanish possessions which  the U.S. claimed from Mexico. However, by this point slavery would have been abolished, and therefore not a primary motivation of that war.

Which constitutional question was central to the issue of Reconstruction?
yaroslaw [1]

The correct answer is A) Did the rebellious states ever become a separate nation.

Reconstruction is the era after the American Civil War. Considering the Confederacy's loss in the Civil War, the question became how would these rebellious states be received by the Union. In order to determine this process, the issue of whether or not the rebellious states were ever an independent nation cause significant problems. If these states were considered part of an independent sovereign nation, they would have to apply for statehood, get a state approved constitution, etc.
