Prohibition in the Roaring 20s
poster yourself
-The Temperance Movement started associating German beer with a conflict in patriotism. -Wartime Prohibtion Act (1918) -18th Amendment (1918): prohibited manufacture, sale, transportation or importation of alcholic beverages in the US. -Speakeasies replaced saloons in 1920s -Bootleggers, Moonshiners, and Rumrunners became more common

Agents of the Prohibition Bureau dump liquor into the sewer after a raid. Of these ''raiders'' included Izzy and Moe
Hi! My name is Alphonse Capone. I am one of the well-known leaders of the infamous gang: The Mafia. Did you know these ''organized crimes'' resulted from Prohibition? Competition between various groups in alcohol sales caused me to partake in the Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929.
