The Prohibition era gave rise to the organized crime syndicate in the United States. Federal efforts to enforce prohibition, including raids on speakeasies, were countered by well-organized bootlegging operations with national and international connections. A particularly notorious gang of the times was Al Capone’s mob in Chicago, but there were also gangs in Detroit, New York and other cities. Wars among gangs, producing grisly killings, frequently made headlines.
