In this week's episode we wrap our Prohibition series by taking a look at the fallout of the Volstead Act. We know that it created organized crime, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. The alcohol business was the 5th largest industry in the US at the time, so thousands of jobs were lost. Businesses were forced to close because alcohol was their number 1 seller, billions in lost tax revenue and much more devastating intentional--and unintentional side effects from the most failed experiment in American history. We close the episode with a quick conversation about what to expect from Outlaws & Gunslingers moving forward. Any questions or suggestions on future episodes?
