The goal of Prohibition was to get rid of the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol in the US. Even though this was a federal law, thousands of American citizens all over the country broke this law. One way they broke this law was by going to speakeasies. Speakeasies were secret bars that people could go to in order to obtain alcohol. Even though this went against the 18th amendment (the law that made alcohol illegal), thousands of Americans opened these speakeasies due to the fact that Americans were willing to pay a large amount of money for alcohol.
Along with the speakeasies, people found other ways to obtain alcohol. Bootleggers, people who illegally transported alcohol, helped to begin organized crime rings all over the country. This increase in crime rates also lead to increased violence (like a higher homicide rate), as gangs competed for business. Overall, Prohibition failed to reduce crime and reduce alcohol consumption rates.
The correct answer is that the North wanted control of the river to divide the South in two, while the South wanted use of the river to keep the Confederacy strong.
The Union had developed, with respect to the Mississippi River, the Anaconda Plan. This plan had as objective to control the adjacent territory to the river in its two margins, in order to split the territory of the Confederation in two.
For its part, the Confederation had as objective to maintain its total control over the river, since by controlling the Mississippi it could establish commercial relations with European countries, like France, that allowed it to cover the expenses of the war, since the river represented a quick exit to the Gulf of Mexico, and therefore to the Atlantic Ocean.

Answer:
That America is a nation of immigrants is more true.
Explanation:
While it is true that there have always been people, and political forces that have opposed immigration to America, this has not prevented millions of people from immigrating to America at different times during history.
In the eighteen and early twentieth century, millions of Europeans immigrated to America, mainly from Germany, Italy, Ireland, and Poland. They arrived in the ports of eastern cities like New York and Philadephia, and from there, settled all over the American Territory.
In the second half of the twentieth century, millions of people from Latin America also immigrated to the U.S., mainly from Mexico and Cuba.
