On august 1, 1917 the United States Senate brought to attention a bill for the 18th amendment to the United States Constitution. On december 18, 1917 it was passed and thus, alcohol was treated as illegal. Said amendment was unenforceable until the volstead act came into play. Now just what in the hell does all that have to do with the Mafia? Well sit down child, and listen.

The creation of the 18th amendment led to organised crime. Why? Well that's quite simple. People figured out that there was money to be made from illegally selling bootleg alcohol to people desperate enough to buy it. And as money makes the world go 'round, and people are inheriently greedy, they joined in this. This led to organised crime syndicates. The most famous of which being the Mafia.

The gleam of the early morning sun glances over the tall buildings

of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. In these

cities, crime never sleeps. However, in these cities, there is a new

presence of crime. Not organized gangs, but individuals. Men with

a following of their own. Men willing to rise to the top.
