Vermont become the nation’s second dry state in 1853. But a few locals refused to comply, and inept law enforcement ended in ineffective consequences. What used to be intended to extend wholesomeness forced a newly carved detour toward crime and corruption. Early laws, such because the Liquor Law of 1853, targeted distilled spirits whilst conveniently protecting cider. As regulations tightened, morals loosened. Without legalized booze, smugglers imported liquor from Canada, and bootleggers ensured that domestic speakeasies kept the liquor flowing. Crime ran so rampant that Newport, Richford and Lyndonville residents relocated to flee rum-running gangs. Sign up for creator Adam Krakowski as he discloses the tumultuous side of Vermont’s temperance movement.
