Patches, Matt. "' Lawless,’ Moonshining, and America’s Modern Prohibition." 29 August 2012. Web. 4 January 2013. http://www.hollywood.com/news/Lawless_Making_Moonshine_Modern_Illegal_Alcohols/38245202
The ratification of the 18th Amendment in the 1920's started what we know today as the Prohibition Era. We now know that men found their way around this era but getting caught up in moonshining. It was a thrill ride and dangerous. If you happened to get caught up with the wrong people you may find yourself at the other end of a tommy gun. Throughout his article Matt explains how moonshining isn't nearly as serious as it was back in the 1920's. Although there are still many dry countys that will drive to the boarder countys just to get their fix.
