and smuggling  Canada to  USA origine into the prohibition.


 




By the 1920s The United States and the provinces within Canada had adopted laws collectively known as prohibition, forbidding the sale of alcohol.


 




It was during that era that North America gave birth to some of the largest crime syndicates, the most vicious criminals, and the American Mafia leaders Al Capone, Bugs Moran, Johnny Torrio, The Purple Gang, and Peter Licavoli, who became household names.


 




For the Mafia and the gangsters, prohibition meant employment, easy money, good times, shiny new cars, and new suits.


 




The Mafia's tainted profits from bootlegging far exceeded that from prostituting, loan sharking, bookmaking, extorting and other racketeering.


 




Thus, in part, the action of Prohibition facilitated the atmosphere that the Mafia was exploiting; it financially enriched the Mafia, allowing its activities to fester, and it developed and fed the them a new network of associates, enabling the Mafia's overall influence to grow. Less than a year after prohibition after the legislation was enacted, more than 900,000 cases of liquor were being shipped to the border cities for what was allowed as private consumption.


 




In the area of Windsor, Ontario Canada alone, the per capita consumption of liquor increased from a pre- 1914 level of 9 gallons to a staggering 102 gallons by 1924 while it was technically illegal to drink.


 




This mass consumption created a high demand for liquor products and the Mafia in Canada and in The United States was able to provide for this through numerous interconnected and highly efficient transport methods.




Liquor was transported from the province of Ontario, Canada into the states in America which bordered Canada; including Michigan, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota along the Detroit River.


 




Criminal gangs developed methods to speed up the delivery of contraband liquor and to avoid the jeopardy of the organized effort. The Mafia in North America carried out their operations on a national or corporate scale employing a system that worked like clockwork.


 




One group arranged the purchase of liquor at the export docks along the river, another crew transported the liquor across to a designated location; a third team quickly picked up the cases of whiskey and transported them to warehouses and later another arranged the shipments to speakeasies in Detroit, Chicago and other Midwestern cities. A favorite tactic of the Mafia was hijacking other gangsâââ‰â¢ booze shipments or forcing rivals to pay them for âââ¬Ãâprotectionâââ¬
