Complete History of PROHIBITION: Why the Government Poisoned Alcohol | History for Sleep

Описание: In this video, we explore the complete history of American Prohibition — from the moral crusade that banned alcohol in 1920 to its catastrophic repeal in 1933. Discover how the "noble experiment" transformed into a lethal disaster: government-poisoned industrial alcohol killing 10,000 citizens, Al Capone's violent empire built on bootlegging, the Valentine's Day Massacre, and speakeasies that replaced saloons. We examine the ethical nightmare of federal officials who knowingly added methanol and formaldehyde to industrial alcohol, Charles Norris's accusation of moral murder, and Wayne Wheeler's ruthless political machine. This is the story of how America's war on alcohol created organized crime, normalized mass lawbreaking, and left a legacy of corruption that persists today.
