The rise of Al Capone... and Walt Disney. (Patreon)
Content
In the summer of 1922, Al Capone arrives in Chicago and begins building a criminal enterprise that will make a mockery of the US constitutional amendment banning alcohol. Capone is not the only enterprising figure at this time, as in 1922 Walt Disney starts his first studio. Disney doesn't immediately see great success however, and the studio will soon go bust.

The Church takes notice to these changes with discomfort, and creates an index of banned cultural works.
