Start­ing in Jan­u­ary 1920, the Unit­ed States became a dry coun­try. Pro­hi­bi­tion banned the man­u­fac­ture and sale of alco­hol in an attempt to civ­i­lize unruly Amer­i­cans (and some oth­er rea­sons). The exper­i­ment had many unin­tend­ed con­se­quences, but most dan­ger­ous­ly, it fos­tered the rise of orga­nized crime and the Amer­i­can Mafia. #His­to­ryChan­nel

    Alco­hol has around for thou­sand of years before Amer­i­ca declared inde­pen­dence so there’s no way Wayne Wheel­er or the WTCU can banned alco­hol, a com­plete waste of time for them.

    just anoth­er exam­ple of how rich lib­er­als think that tak­ing away free­doms from Amer­i­cans will make things more peace­ful, all they ever do is make things worse and crime worse and of course its all just to make the Gov­ern­ment Elite and their bil­lion­aire back­ers more richer.…while the every­day peo­ple have their rights tak­en away and are told its ille­gal to do the same thing the rich are doing.……there are mil­lions of oth­er things like this the every­day peo­ple pay tax­es on that its ok for the elite rich to make or sell but not the every­day person.…because its all about the rich get­ting richer

    It was­n’t about mak­ing “Amer­i­ca” more peace­ful; pro­hi­bi­tion was a move­ment led by women — many of whom grew up in abu­sive house­holds or now had abu­sive hus­bands — who want­ed to remove alco­hol from their hus­bands and make their house­holds more peace­ful. This is a major dif­fer­ence. Not sur­pris­ing­ly, this was of no con­cern to politi­cians and 100 years lat­ers Domes­tic Vio­lence is still of lit­tle con­cern to politicians.

    Anoth­er fac­tor that isn’t usu­al­ly tak­en into con­sid­er­a­tion in the rise of the Mafia in 1920’s Amer­i­ca was the rise of the Facists in Italy. The Facists exter­mi­nat­ed the Mafia in Italy.

    The Amer­i­can Mafia con­sist­ed of those of the Dutch Race, although they came most­ly out of Italy. Also true for mafioso rec­og­nized as Irish. The Three Urwe­tu, for­bid­den Races were Eng­lish, and Dutch and Finnish who came out from them. Dutch was Atti­la The Hun, in his­to­ry; Vlad The Impaler, and the Pirates of his­to­ry… The “bad” or maraud­er Vikings were Finnish, as also the puvey­ors of the Com­mu­nist Rev­o­lu­tion, Stal­in, Lenin and Marx; Alar­ic the ancient maraud­er, too, Finnish…
