520 For more than a decade starting in 1920, millions of
regular Americans ignored the law of the land. Parents
became bootleggers, kids smuggled illegal alcohol, and
outlaws became celebrities. It wasn't supposed to be that
way, of course. When Congress passed the Eighteenth
Amendment, prohibiting the sale and manufacture of alcohol
in the United States, supporters believed it would create
a better, stronger nation. Instead it began an era of
lawlessness, when famous gangsters like Al Capone rose to
fame, and many reconsidered their concept of right and
wrong. This is the story of those years in American
history-- the story of prohibition.
