jan 25, 1947 - Death of Al Capone

Description:

Capone suffered cardiac arrest after a decline in health from Syphilis. If Capone had never lived, we might have never seen a rise in the mob. The bootlegging operation of the prohibition would have never gotten as large or bloody as it was. The American public may have never known the extent of the mob's influence, and wars between certain gangs may have never happened. If I had the opportunity to go back and meet Al Capone I would. I would want to see how he lived as a mob boss and learn the extent of his bootlegging operations. He is a fascinating person and I would want to learn more about how he gained so much power and money at such a young age.
