Abstract:
Distilling alcohol for private consumption has been regulated in the state since 1715. Complete prohibition occurred in 1908 after the passing of Watts and Ward Law. One reason distillation remained so prevalent in the northeast portion of the state is that distilling used the similar equipment as for making turpentine, an already established industry in the area. Dare County moonshiners took to distilling both because they already had the equipment and also tough economic times drove them to lucrative manufacturing and sale of alcohol.
