Moonshining did not start during the prohibition era. Moonshining started in 1791 when Alexander Hamilton proposed a bill in 1790 that was signed by George Washington creating a "sin" tax that raised the tax on imported liquor and began taxing domestically produced whiskey. This so infuriated the American distillers that it led to the Whisky Revolution of 1794. Moonshining began as a way to escape paying the high taxes to the newly formed United States government.

Did moonshining affect Appalachia in a positive way by providing work to a destitute society?
(Moonshining was the illegal production and transportation of untaxed whiskey brewed in hidden stills.)Moonshining acted not only to provide income to otherwise destitute individuals, but it worked as a cultural phenomenon. An entire sub-culture could collect around moonshining parties, talking about problems they faced. Revenue from moonshine provided food, shoes, and education for children. Although it isn't the prettiest part of American history, moonshine contribute significantly to Appalachian culture (music, stories, and traditions) and worked to help individuals progress, or at least afford flour and sugar while finding a sense of cultural pride.
