Shine Wars:
Operation White Lighting
After the revolutionary war the U.S. found itself struggling to pay for the long war so this new government placed a federal TAX on liquors and spirits. Now the American people just finished a war to get out from under oppressive British taxes and were unhappy to say the least so they just made their own whiskey and avoided the tax. This young government seeing the tax was not helping enacted the Prohibition Act making it illegal to sell, make, or even drink alcohol!
​
The Prohibition Act was challenged some time in the 1930’s but our crazy still young government left it in place. Now around 2005 the federal government appealed the act and left control in the hands of the states. Several southern states left the ban in place including the ones our lovely Appalachian Mountains are in. So that takes us where we are today.
A little back story on the area - The state was divided into 3 districts and in 2005 the lines were redone adding more districts but making the whole western part of the state one district with three lead agents one for Alcohol and Tobacco, one for Arson and Bombs, and one for Firearms. Now they do have some agents at their disposal but not many so they rely heavily on local law enforcement. However sometimes even they can't always be trusted.
The ATF and local Sheriff's Department think they have found one of the largest moonshine operations in the 5th district.
Back to our little dilemma with the ATF, or Revenuers as the locals call them, who have confiscated a small old fort-like place for their headquarters. This new HQ is close to an old general store that they suspect is helping the Shiners and making money on the side with sell of whiskies and brandy. With the help of the sheriff and his deputies will this be the end of some of the best Appalachian Hillbilly Juice made and make a name for our ATF Agents, or will the Shiners prevail in the end?
