Following a century of moral outcry and political campaigning the Federal government prohibited the production, transportation, sale, and consumption of alcohol across the nation with the passing of the 18th amendment. Before the passing of the amendment multiple states and city governments had made it illegal to buy alcohol. The battle between law enforcement and bootleggers had long been raging while arguments between ‘drys’ and ‘wets’ gripped communities across the country. ‘Jug Trains’, ‘Blind Tigers’, and ‘Moonshiners’ would come to define the experience of the residents of Hapeville, the city of Atlanta, and the state of Georgia.
