Dive into the fascinating world of Prohibition-era bootleggers and rum runners in this episode of Prohibition with James Hartley. Discover how the Eighteenth Amendment created a massive underground economy that stretched from hidden distilleries to international smuggling operations. Learn about famous figures like Bill McCoy, whose reputation for quality liquor gave us the phrase 'the real McCoy,' and explore the sophisticated networks that supplied over 100,000 speakeasies in New York City alone. This episode examines the business mechanics of illegal alcohol trade, from manufacturing and transportation to distribution and sales. We explore the ingenuity required to move contraband, the corruption that enabled these operations, and the enormous profits that attracted participants from all walks of life. The episode covers key smuggling routes like Rum Row off the Atlantic coast, cross-border operations along the Detroit River, and the creative methods bootleggers used to transport their products. We also discuss the role of women in these operations and how the illegal nature of the trade created unique opportunities. The episode concludes with the gradual shift in public opinion that led to repeal and examines the lasting impact of this unique period in American history when entrepreneurship and lawbreaking intersected on an unprecedented scale.
