In the 1920's the America government was trying a new law called Prohibition. This law would make alcohol illegal in the U.S.A. In result of this the crime rate went up. Since the people didn't want to give up alcohol to this law, they created speakeasy's (a place were people buy alcohol and have fun). At these speakeasy's, there would be music, dancing and drinking. One of the problems was that no one was willing to transport alcohol to and from these speakeasy's, so that's where bootleggers came in.
