Prohibition - Birth of Organized Crime - Forgotten History

The Temperance Movement gained traction in the late 1800s, and by the end of WW I, the opposition to alcoholic beverages made its way to Congress. When the law was passed to ban all consumption and most distillation and brewing of whisky and beer, life in America changed forever. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production. ============================================================================ Help support our channel: Patreon page:   / forgottenhistorychannel   Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @forgottenhistorychannel   ============================================================================ Thanks for watching.
