illegally selling or producing alcohol.
People who broke the laws of prohibition were known as bootleggers. Bootlegging involved illegally producing, transporting, or selling alcohol during the period of prohibition in the United States. Notorious figures such as Al Capone gained wealth and power through their involvement in bootlegging activities.
During prohibition, the consumption of alcohol continued underground, giving rise to illegal speakeasies, bootlegging, and organized crime. Eventually, the negative consequences of prohibition led to its repeal in 1933 with the 21st Amendment.
Legal employment increased as did tax revenues.
The term "bootlegging" came from the practice of slaves trading or bartering produce among themselves and illegally selling surplus goods.
It is estimated that over 30,000 people were arrested and jailed for violating Prohibition laws in the United States. Many of these individuals were involved in bootlegging, speakeasies, or other illegal alcohol-related activities during this period.
