Summary

The Dixie Mafia was a very loose network of criminals who operated across the South in the 1960s and 1970s, and even into the 80s. They were dealing in drugs, gambling, prostitution, and MURDER. They weren't really a gang, just a bunch of dudes who hung out together and did some seriously shady stuff.
