Description
Focusing on the Prohibition era and the influence of Al Capone, we discuss how Charleston became a significant player in the bootlegging network, the cultural impact of Prohibition, and the contrasting experiences of Charleston and Chicago during this time. The legacy of Al Capone and the unintended consequences of the 18th Amendment are things to consider.
