Criminals like Al Capone Bonnie and Clyde and John Dillinger were headliners of the era. Jobs were scarce and people needed to provide for the families they had being in gangs was dangerous but provided an easy way money. Some of the mobsters did not want to do any of this things but there families were more important. When the eighteenth amendments outlawing alcohol people who enjoyed drinking became criminal for doing so.
It was organized crime who supplied the booze. In January of 1920 the american government got rid of the sale of alcohol it was no longer a thing is was not sold anywhere anymore. the government thought it was a major crime and should not be allowed at all but prohibition did not last at all nor did it achieve its goals.Even after the amendment was passed the mobsters would still find a way to get alcohol. But not all mobsters liked each other they would fight and kill others just for alcohol so soon the government decided to not ban it if they keep getting their hands on it they saw no point in doing it with alcohol legal soon the violence was brought down to a minimum.
