4there use to be two bars in lasalle ill.

Speak easies were founded in the 1920's every night a average worker could make up to 400$ a day. One dollar a day was alot of money. I mean like maybe buy a car. Four hundred dollars thats alot bro. They payed police 40$ for the police to not talk about or arrest and supects trying to rum run to the speak easy. Rum running is a illegal way of selling achol. During the prohobiton days the people in the united states were not allowed to drink or have postions of alchol
ReplyDeletesppekeasy they always did their meetings in a secret place where no one would ever suspect they were there they would have alcohol down where they were at because they weren't supposed to have it it was illegal to have alcohol in the town or anywhere the people were relying on alcohol to much during the deep deprresion and they just took away alcohol from everywhere.
ReplyDelete1. There were very HARSH punishments for someone who goes wrong during the prohibition. EXAMPLES: 1: Get hung by your tounge by a plane. 2: tortured. 3: forced to swallow two ounces of Caster Oil.
ReplyDelete2. The KKK supported the prohibition.
3. The speakeasy got its name because one had to whisper a code word or name through a slot in a locked door to gain admittance
4. Prohibition clearly benefited some people. Notorious bootlegger Al Capone made $60,000,000...that's sixty million dollars...per year (untaxed!) while the average industrial worker earned less than $1,000 per year.
5. Although Prohibition was repealed 75 years ago, there are still hundreds of dry counties across the United States today.

The "Black Duck" is a relley good book. It is about people booklegging on Tyler's landing they were bootlegging on the shore.And they found a dead guy and they shot him and i think they shot him because they wanted some thing that wasent there.So then his friend and him whent to the cops and told them but when they whent there it was gone. So they they didnt belive them that there was a dead body.So the kid whent around interviwing people that lived aroun there and they found nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhats up mr. h. The Black Duck is a good book its intresting touching with a little kick of sad. like when viola got shot that was super sad. It is also very suspenseful. all the action that happens is super awsome. When Ruben went on that job and saw Mr. Riley there and how Mr. Riley got arrested. Well here are some facts i found about those things. Rum-running was 1 of the $$$$$ making businesses back in the day. another 1 is that 1 prohibition on Prince Edward Island lasted from 1901 up until 1948. i also found out that guys used girls for the smuggling so 5-0 a.k.a cops wouldnt really suspect anything. And 1 of the most famous periods of rum-running began in the United States

speak easies were found ed in the 1920,s about every night people would try to take in goods.In about 1925-30s there were about 100,000 speak easies in the country at the time.In the 1920 ,1930s people would get some times if they had goods they would about $1370 per month.One man was even caught hustling liqour over the border in two boxes of eggs: He had drained the eggs of their original content and refilled them with liqour. And many average American's became criminals during the age of Prohibition.
ReplyDeletespeakeasys where establishments that sold alchoholic beverages during prohibition. Also, I found out that LaSalle has had many hidden speakeasys over the years. Speakeasys started when the U.S. prohibited alchohol in the 1920s- 30s. So, people started making underground bars that sold alchohol so the authority wouldnt know about it. And the got their alchohol from boat that shipped in alchohol from diffrent places. this was known as "rummrunning" or "bootlegging". So people could have thier alchohol, and speakeasy owners could make a prophit. This information is all mentioned in the book Black Duck.
ReplyDeletethere were speakesaies in illinios.
ReplyDeleterum runners were people who shiped eligal alcohol in the 20's.
a famous rum runner was william S. McCoy.
by 1929 rum running was at its highest.
The prohibition was the 18th amendmet to the constution and was later canceled out by another amendment.
ReplyDeleteThe alcohal was mainly transported from canada by the great lakes.
Some wine was still sold for religus reasons but only through the goverment.
Families had taken to making their own and this was legal in small amounts.
People who had alcohol before the prohibition could still Have it because the prohibition it only banned the sale, manufacturing, and transport.
the speakeses that they try to hide a hiden achool in thier basment so the cops doesn't know that they are selling it ilegali. they use achool to get money because pepole during this time alot of pepole lost thier jobs so they selled ilegal achool to get money. sometimes so the legers dont get caught and go to jail they bribe the police.some pepole just did it top get money. a bissness that doesnt have good is a boot leger to get more money.

-Prohibitionists often advocated strong measures against those who did not comply with Prohibition. One suggested that the government distribute poisoned alcohol beverages through bootleggers (sellers of illegal alcohol) and acknowledged that several hundred thousand Americans would die as a result, but thought the cost well worth the enforcement of Prohibition. Others suggested that those who drank should be:

3.Rum-running is the business of smuggling or transporting of alcoholic beverages illegally, usually to circumvent taxation or prohibition. The term usually applies to transport of goods over water, over land it is commonly referred to as bootlegging.
4.The term most likely originated at the start of Prohibition in the United States (1920–1933), when ships from the nearby island of Bimini transported cheap Caribbean rum to Florida speakeasies.
5.But rum's cheapness made it a low-profit item for the rum-runners, and they soon moved on to smuggling Canadian whiskey, French champagne and English gin to major cities like New York and Boston, where prices ran high.

ReplyDelete-Females advanced in the work force as more women began to get hired for office jobs.
ReplyDelete-The flapper, a sign of the 1920's, characterized the changes that were occurring in the decade.
-In the 1920's the world experienced several revolutions in areas such as music and new scientific discoveries
-Archbishop of Naples pointed a blaming finger at short skirts
-the selling, creating, and moving of alcoholic beverages was made illegal in the U.S.
The Prohibition of the 1920s was ineffective because it was unenforceable, it caused the growth of crime to become a major concern and it increased the amount of alcohol consumption. lots of gangs become more aggresive. all alcohol was put to an end. all buisness was at a major turning point it got so bad that they started to hide beer in hidden coolers so when the police raid there buisness they wont be able to find them. the prohibition was a bad time for people who own bars because without beer they wont be able to make any money so what they did was contiue with there buisness.
ReplyDeleteThe prohibition ere started in 1923 until the 1933. Rum running goes from New England to Canada.Speakeasys were clubs that were hard to find from law.Civilians died from rum running for interfering with there stuff
ReplyDeleteDuring Prohibition, the manufacture, transportation, import, export, and sale of alcoholic beverages were restricted or illegal.Prohibition was supposed to lower crime and corruption, reduce social problems, lower taxes needed to support prisons and poorhouses, and improve health and hygiene in America.Instead, Alcohol became more dangerous to consume; organized crime blossomed; courts and prisons systems became overloaded; and endemic corruption of police and public officials occurred.
ReplyDeleteIn 1919, the requisite number of legislatures of the States ratified The 18th Amendment to the Federal Constitution, enabling national Prohibition within one year of ratification.
1. Speakeasies were formed in the 1920's as a means to get around the everyday hassle of law enforcement watching for people to violate the 18th Amendment. As a result of Prohibition, the speakeasy was an established institution
ReplyDelete2. person or ship engaged in smuggling liquor from other place called rum-running
