In certain cases, prohibition does work. In the case of marijuana, prohibition works. No one really see the outlaw of marijuana as a prohibition. The reason alcohol prohibition, was fought against so much, was because alcohol has been around for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians would feed there slaves beer to give them some sort of nutrition. Alcohol is not just a drink, its part of our culture.

Mark so it is easy to grow at home. Do you have personal experience in this field? I think you do. I think that the marijuana age should be the same as the smoking age.

This is a great web site on Muckrakers.

If you look at the world now the issue of racism isn't as bad as it use to be.

I think that the Cubans destroyed the USS Maine because they wanted to be free from the European Colonies.

I dont think that Christopher Columbus was not the founder of the New world. I think that Leafericson who traveled to North America in 1000 ad was the real founder of the new world.

The triangle trade routes from the americas to Europe, then to africa was an area where they could trade spices slaves and other goods.

The panama canal was a great investment for the United States because it brought a lot more trading and it connected our Easter Navy and our Wester Navy

I agree with that everyone strives to become equal, excepted in the world.

During the Industrial era the United States was working like mad. There was child labor, food disease, and drug problems. That is why at the time we needed a progressive reform

During the west ward migration many settlers would get hurt and become infected or attract some type of disease that would, in the end, kill them.

Racism has always been a problem in the United States and always has. During the civil war the Union army would not allow black slaves to fight along side white men. The black soldiers would have to be in serpent group.

Most muckrakers would be become investigative journalists, which would weed out corruption and social arguments that had raised.

If there was no progressive era there would be no regulation on our food. There would be no unions to fight for the job labor. The United States needed the progressive era.

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life in the early modern period. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence was felt in literature, philosophy, art, music, politics, science, religion, and other aspects of intellectual inquiry.

This web site tells everything about WWI

I think that the United States made the good decision on going into WWI on the allies side, because even through the United States has had bad relations with the Brittans, they should still help them so that they can keep trading together.

"During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the United States pursued an aggressive policy of expansionism, extending its political and economic influence around the globe." quote from http://www.smplanet.com/imperialism/toc.html

I dont think that the United States destroyed there own ship, mostly because the USS Maine was a pre-dreadnought battleship. Which for its time was a very powerful, large ship. The United States had no reason to destroy it.

Yes, but is trading with another country being Imperialistic. My opinion is that it is not.

The United states was and still is a very imperialistic country.

well your compleatly wrong just because we are disrupting your, nice quiet lounging around time, doesnt mean you should send in crazed killers to beat off the protestors. We are just trying to make our working space more safe and our pay higher.

I think that the use of pinkertons should be outlawed, because the pinkertons dont have a boundary of when to stop. They could grousimly beat the protestors, and they wouldnt be arrested.
