The feud began in the 1920's over turf. During the prohibition (liquor was illegal) gangs began bootlegging liquor and selling it to the public. Chicago was split in half by the North side gang (Bug's gang) and the Chicago outfit (Al's gang). Both sides were trying to find new and more people to sell to in order to make a bigger profit. Both sides began fighting causing a lot of damage to Chicago.
