@ageofempires_history: The Chemical War Between Bootleggers & the Government ☠️ Prohibition wasn't just a war between cops and criminals. Bootleggers used chemists to make industrial alcohol drinkable, while the government experimented with ways to keep it undrinkable. It became a deadly chemical arms race. #HistoryTok #Prohibition #USHistory #AmericanHistory #OrganizedCrime #mafia
They decided to ban alcohol because people were using it to power their vehicles

Correction, it was only illegal if you were poor. Rich oil barons and other rich people at that time still had alcohol in homes and parties. Nobody stopped them. Rules didn't apply to government officials either.

Al Capone created the first free soup kitchen to feed the people the government wouldn't.

Yes they poisoned a lot of people. Initially they thought people wouldn't drink it if they poison it. They found out they would so they poisoned it even more
