Prohibition

The prohibition era was an era during the 1920s to 1933 where there was a banning of the consumption, production and the distribution of alcoholic drinks. More crimes developed from the prohibition because of the fact that the distributors of alcohol wanted to  have full control over alcohol. Because alcohol was illegal its fine increased. Speakeasies developed during the prohibition. Speakeasies were small bars that sold alcohol illegally. Bootleggers also came about because of the prohibition. People wore big boots and hid the alcohol in them. They distributed it to other speakeasies. The alcohol drink called moonshine developed during the prohibition. Moonshine was an unsanitary drink made in someones bathroom. The movie Dukes of Hazard is all about the hard times distributers had because of selling moonshine.
