I can see why the government would want to ban alcohol and drugs. Both of those things are not good for your heath and if you do them a lot could casue death in some way.

Prohibition does not work. Just becasue the government says something is illegal doesn't mean people still aren't going to do it. Today, marijuana and other drugs are illegal but that doesn't stop anyone from doing it. The government can try all they want to stop people from drinking or doing drugs but people will still do it either way.

I agree this was the final push that led us into war and the yellow journalism really forced the idea that it was all the spanish but i we were most likely going to go to war even without the USS Maine exploding

Even before the USS Maine exploded, we were on the edge of war. This just happened to be the last thing before we declared war. I think it still wouldve happened even if it never happened

I agree with you we want to stay the most powerful nation in the world so we are imperilaistic and take control over other nations

The canal was also great for the economy because of the trade goods that go through there

It is making progress and starting to move forward but it is still not in a very good place right now and our economy still needs a lot more to be done

It was good for businesses but not for other people. Then the Progressive era came along helped straighten everything out

This is true. We just didnt want to fall behind all the other countries. We wanted to be as or more powerful than anyone else

The Progressive Era helped to form the United States into the way it is today
