Prohibition and the Gangster Era in Dakota County
In October of 1919, the United States passed the Volstead Act that started prohibition in the United States. While it did not achieve its intent (eliminating alcohol), it did however, help bring the meteoric rise of the gangster era into public view. This presentation will explore the effects of prohibition and gangsters had on Dakota County throughout the 1930's.
