The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Why were leaders of "big business in the late 1800s referred to as "captains of industry" by some and "robber barons" by others?
Answer:
Because those men were important businessmen in that time in the United States and created huge companies that grow immensely until they were lonely competitors in their industries. That was the case of John D. Rockefeller with the Standaard Oil Company or Andrew Carnegie with the Steel Company. Other great entrepreneurial names of the time were also Henry Ford and Cornelious Vanderbilt.
On the other hand, journalists and citizens accused these men of creating monopolies and injustice corporate practices that did not allow other companies to compete in these industries. That is why some called them "robber barons."

The 18th Amendment prohibited the sale of, the transportation of, the manufacturing of any alcoholic beverage. It did have the effect of enforcing a decline in deaths related to alcohol, but it did not entirely fulfill its intent.
Crime increased. Criminal activity increased. Al Capone became one of the richest man in America from the proceeds of black market alcohol. His 100K in the 20s would make his net worth about 18 billion in today's dollars.
The 18th became law in 1919. It was repealed in 1933 just 4 years later. It is the only amendment that suffered this fate.
False
As the population grew and the years went on many Americans began moving to large cities instead of living on farms.
