Detailed explanation-1: -What is bootlegging ? In U.S. history, bootlegging was the illegal manufacture, transport, distribution, or sale of alcoholic beverages during the Prohibition period (1920–33), when those activities were forbidden under the Eighteenth Amendment (1919) to the U.S. Constitution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the alcohol would be smuggled into the United States, across the border and by sea. A visible symptom of Prohibition was “Rum Row.” Smugglers lined the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, where foreign-flagged mother ships brought tons of liquor to the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -People that made alcohol and smuggled it into cities or to bars were called “bootleggers.” Some bootleggers sold homemade whiskey called “moonshine” or “bathtub gin.” Bootleggers would often have modified cars to help them outrun the federal agents trying to catch them.
Detailed explanation-4: -They were demanding quality, authentic Scotch and other liquor “right off the boat.” Among the customers for imported booze from Europe, Canada and the Caribbean were the nation’s bootleggers who ran and supplied thousands of speakeasies.
