Allan Pinkerton moved to the United States from Scotland, and he started a famous private detective agency in Chicago.
Allan Pinkerton moved to the United States from Scotland, and he started a famous private detective agency in Chicago.
To determine whether a comma or semicolon is needed in the given sentence, let's examine the context and the relationship between the two clauses:
"Allan Pinkerton moved to the United States from Scotland" is the first clause.
"He started a famous private detective agency in Chicago" is the second clause.
In this case, since the two clauses are closely related and form a complete thought, we can use a coordinating conjunction (like 'and') to connect them.
To rewrite the sentence, we can add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and':
"Allan Pinkerton moved to the United States from Scotland, and he started a famous private detective agency in Chicago."
Now, the sentence is correctly punctuated.
