Description: "In 1920, the 18th Amendment made the production, transportation and sale of alcohol not merely illegal--it was unconstitutional. Smugglers, along with many others, ran operations along the U.S. coastline until Prohibition was repealed in 1933. This history describes how rumrunners battled both corrupt Coast Guard members and the "Dry Navy" in their enterprise to keep America wet"--
