HISTORY OF THE EARLY MAFIA IN THE USA

- The Italian Mafia of the United States is one of the most famous criminal organizations in the world. Dozens of films have been made and hundreds of books written about it, but there are only a handful of works that describe the early history of what would later become the Cosa Nostra.
Mostly the reason why the things were like this was the influene of the lack of sufficient and reliable information about that period. Because of this the story of the appearance of the Mafia on the American continent, written during the information vacuum and still being replicated by mass media as the only true one, in practice is more of a myth than the real picture of what happened.
But fortunately for us, by now the researchers have received enough information about the circumstances to recreate more accurate history of that period.
So if you're interested in what Cosa Nostra was really like in its infancy in the United States, then give a reception, The Becoming of the New York Mafia, On the Other Side of the Law.

Great video, seriously one of the most informative and complete I've ever seen in on Mafia history
The Mob had so much power, that the US government asked Lucky Luciano for help during WW2…While he was locked up.
Sicily hated mussolini . Thats How lucky got outta jail
@@lcnincmusiccollective5577 The Sicilian mafia hated Mussolini...because he threw them all in prison. The US army freed them all, which bit Americans in the ass later on.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Now I see why they really can’t be stopped. They have their hands in everything.
@@lcnincmusiccollective5577
The Mussolini situation occur after Lucky helped the government when they asked him to secure the docks of NY from sabotage during WW2.
Then in 1943, he helped the US with his mob ties in allied invasion of Sicily known as “Operation Underworld”. He was deported back to Sicily in 1946 after his sentence in the US was commuted.
Lucky was on house arrest in Sicily. He then went to Cuba where he was caught, arrested and later sent back in 1947.
They had him locked up in a prison upstate. Lucky was them moved to a prison closer to the city and he lived lavishly in prison. He was even allowed to have meetings with his Capos in prison.
Got to say I'd give you 9/10 for accuracy after the introduction I was expecting you to be like All the other new channels on this subject but definitely well researched and pronounced correctly would love to hear more

This is a great history of the whole ball of grease. And tho' I did enjoy the visual background of video from gangster movies like the Godfather, I would've preferred to see still photos of whatever or whoever was being talked about. That was done much of the time but many times it was not, and it could have been. All in all, an excellent TRUE history of the early Italian & Sicilian organized crime gangs/families of Nee York.
MAFIA ---------is an acronym-------it means, in Italian, " Death To The French In Italy" . -------Thus, there is NO MAFIA in the USA. We have ' La Cosa Nostra " , or " Our Thing " -------the ' our " being Sicilians x 2 generations. Italians -------Jews-----Irish & Blacks were all at times, partners & allies, but NEVER could they be " made " . Only Sicilians . --------------MJL, 76 y/o
You’re my elder so I respect your opinion, but it’s more of a catch all term at this point. No need to split hairs over Mafia, Mob, La Cosa Nostra, etc. It’s all the same sir.
THE ORIGINAL ORGANIZATION WAS SET UP TO PROTECT THEIR VILLAGES FROM THIEVES AND GANGS
ITS AMAZING WHAT THEY ACHIEVED WHEN MOST OF THEM DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AS KIDS
here after the new Mafia videogame announcement to get idea of how the game will be
@32:32 - which film is that from please? Also, is it possible to share a list of the film sources used? I don't recognise all of them and would like to seek them out.
This is VERY accurate.
The Naturalization Law of 1802 required 5 years for naturalization with a 3 year notice of intent. So one wouldn't become a citizen after 3 years, it would be 5 years.
My family is Bertollini and Boscolo, Im always looking for more info on them.
Yeah I needed this voice and not the regular CZcams guy voice lol "hey guys"
My fault its "Hey there whats up guys"
why no mention of the 1928 meeting in Cleveland? Joseph Profaci, Joe Magliocca and Vincent Mangano!
What meeting is that??? I never heard of it and I can never find anything new and would like to watch something on it... Thank you for the info
@@garywalters284 it’s the meeting where Joe Profaci was confirmed as the representate (boss) of the borgata now called the Colombo.
THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING!!! IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANY QUALITY VIDEOS IN THAT TIME PERIOD.I HOPE YOU CAN MAKE A VIDEO ON GAGLIANO! THERE IS BARELY ANY INFO ON HIM AND THE LITTLE BIT THERE IS THATS ALL YOU HEAR. HE WAS THE HEAD OF HIS CRIME FAMILY FOR 20 YEARS AND NEVER HEAR ANYTHING. EVEN THE YEAR HE DIED WAS UP FOR DEBATE. THATS HOW A GODFATHER SHOULD RUN HIS FAMILY IN THE SHADOWS IT IS A SECRET SOCIETY. MAKE MONEY NOT HEADLINES!!!
Very interesting ❤
That’s not a picture of Corleone. I live in Sicily and have visited that town several times.
it isn't, i think he just used that from the movie The Godfather
cuz u know, it fits the topic
I Spike to "Lucky" through pictures , as i said , he knew i was coming, ALEX, ---- BELGRADE
They are still active too which is crazy ofc not as much as they used to be but still
They should make a sopranos version called the makings of a varsity athlete 😂
La Cosa Nustra. Alfonse Capone from Bronx.
Great
It's simple it wasn't just a Italian thing but a mix of people, Lucky Luciano and the bosses were clear the mob is about money, and many famous Jewish people and Irish had the same power from the new form murder Inc, being made is just a ceremonial thing to give you a feeling of power but in reality it didn't matter money did
We need the mafia now
They had mainlanders before this video said for sure
This thing of ours has been around 900 years
The Italians mostly suceeded at anything they turned their hands to in my opinion. Even crime.
Yea they were brilliant in WWII.
Except cars they hit just below the mark
The "Cosa Nostra" is not Italian, it is exclusively Sicilian.
Ok
U didn't mention the other two mafias in Italia tho !!!!!
Sicily is a large island apart of Italy though
Is Sicilian not Italian ? That’s like saying cheeseburgers aren’t American they’re strictly California 😂
I heard you paint houses
Minted in 75 so of course as a bridge kid I got all the 80's and 90's vibes from a child to an adult.
I wonder who really set the Normandie on fire?
Salvatore Toto Riinada gelsin
Again with the false pictureof Maranzano. It’s been established for some time that the picture purported to be of Maranzano is actually a picture of one Salvatore Messina. Get it right because, otherwise, it undermines your accuracy overall.
Sounds like the narrator of the Christmas Story
I see that the godfather is in the back ground. But What else is the movie or tv series is the background of this video?
Boardwalk Empire
I heard MAFIA was an acronym for the surnames of the founding families in the old country. Is that true?
It’s an acronym for Morte Alla Francia Italia Anelia!" ("Death to the French is Italy's Cry!").
@@jaycareaga9929that’s a myth
This is not the history of the US organized crime, is the history of the Italian-American mafia. It would be nice to talk about this phase as that, a phase in the long lasting and ongoing history of the organized crime in the US. Just saying, to avoid stereotypes
Correct, no mention of the Irish Mafia!
@@maryjeanjones7569 or the Jewish or the maras or the Mexicans etc
Loved this

Awesome
I think I’m taking a liking to how they use to dress 😂I can see myself wearing it 🤷🏾♂️
You picked the absolute most fiction movie MOBSTERS to use? Lol
Can anyone tell me the name of the movie with those boys walking down the street?
Can you tell me the time stamp on the video I will have a look.
1880'S NEW ORLEANS
It's the late 20s. New York is devided, between two Big Bosses, who are preparing their campaigns for war. The one is Capo dei Capi (in fact in name only, already from the mid of the decade), Don Salvatore "Toto" D'Aquila, based in Brooklyn. The other is, Don Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria, who's heading the biggest Borgata in the city and buldind a big network of allies-lieutenants across the country.
In 1927, D'Aquila's lieutenant in Cleveland, Joe Lonardo, is gunned down by Salvatore Todaro, Masseria's lieutenant. Now, Cleveland belongs to Joe the Boss. The Dons are continiuing their "backround moves". Until 1928, one of the years, which will mark the Honorata Societa forever, D'Aquila manages to bribe Masseria's long-time Brooyklyn caporegime, Frankie Yale, to side with him and betray his Godfather. Also D'Aquila makes a strong alliance with Chicago's Godfather (and Al Capone's advisor & partner) Antonio Lombardo. Lombardo tries to persuade Capone, to stop paying tribute to Masseria (Capone wasn't made Masseria's capodecina yet). However Al, doesn't agree. He knows, that he can't side against Joe the Boss. Also, he has huge respect for the Boss, not only due to his Power, but because, back in the early 20s, before Al came to Chicago, it was Masseria who had saved him from death, solving the dispute between him and another gangster (the "scarface" thing). So, the loyal Al, tippes-off his Boss about Lombardo and D'Aquila. Meanwile, Masseria is preparing the death of the traitor Yale. He already knows about it, because he has D'Aquila's own underboss, Al Mineo with him (it wasn't difficult, because D'Aquila had been unfair with him) and Yale's second in command, Anthony Carfano.
The time comes. The guns are ready. July 1st. Capone's hit-men, paying a "touchy" visit to Yale. September 7th. Lombardo is ambushed alongside with one of his two bodyguards, Tony Ferreta. The other bodyguard, unscratched, hunts down the killers, shooting at them, but not managed to hit them. His name is Joe Lolordo. His bother, Pasqualino Lolordo, with Capone's help, succeds the deceased Lombardo as the new head of the Chicago Family. And guess what??? He was under Joe the Boss. He even attended at Masseria's Coronation as the Capo dei Capi, at the Hotel Statler in Cleveland. Probably a coincidence... October 10th. Salvatore D'Aquila himself, is gunned down, out of his doctor's office, by a squad of his undeboss, Al Mineo, on the orders of Joe "the Boss" Masseria. It's quite possibly, that Giuseppe Morello was one of the gunmen, because D'Aquila was his biggest enemy. The war is over. The victor, the Great Capo dei Capi, Don Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria, is now officially, the King of New York. And with the death of the jewish kinpin Arnold Rothstein, on November 6th (he was shot on 4th, on the Boss's orders-Dutch Scultz took the contract), Joe the Boss is the undisputed Dominance in the whole US Underworld!!!
So many murders, hard to keep up lol
I'm surprised there's anyone else left to whack out.. lol 😆.

I would highly appreciate in someone could name which movies were used as background illustration! I recon some ( Godfather, once upon a time…, Valachi papers) but would like to know the rest!

Is this the same auto generated narrative that the unfortunate person viewing this will have to listen to? I just unsubscribed! The Pablo Escobar narrative was absolute junk!
A great narrative. Understandable, and the most names were not butchered. The narrator stated 1934 as opposed to the year 34! Very well done.
Why the bot audio though?
dude I did that voice, not a bot
Ya know... Quasimodo predicted this shit.

I have a hard time watching this video. All the scenes from The Godfather movies and other movies and photos just makes this video’s credibility seem suspect.
Then cross check it yourself if it makes you uncomfortable 😂😂
What you're saying about Joe the Boss, is total crap and dishonor. The Boss, was the Most Powerful Godfather, America has ever seen. Let me tell you, a couple of 3 things.
After Morello's inprisioment, maybe Terranova was the acting boss, but infact, it was the Boss who was running the streets for the Borgata (Family). During that time, the most powerful of the Godfathers, was former Morello's top lieutenant (caporegime), Salvatore "Toto" D'Aquila. He was based in Brooklyn, but had influence to the majority of New York. The Boss at the time, was not afforded an all out war with D'Aquila. After Prohinition however, the Morello Borgata had got more Power, certainly, due to the Boss's strong street leadership. In 1922, Morello was paroled by the USA President himself (he probably got a "black hand" card). As obvious, he wanted to took his Empire back. D'Aquila, saw the threat, and immediately, ordered the death, of Morello, Teranona and of course, the street-boss's of the Borgata, Masseria. The one who took the contract, was one of D'Aquila's top lieutenant & one of the most feared men in New York, Umberto Velenti. Velenti, along with his squad, went to whack the Boss in public. The assassins started shooting, killed Joe's bodyguards and hunted him. They fired at him, but the Boss, started some "special moves" and avoid all the bullets. The assassins, shocked, run away, to avoid the cops, and because the people hunted them, they fired on them. After this event, Joe Masseria was now, "the Man who can dodge the bullets". It was revenge's time. The Boss, sent a message to Velenti, to have a sit-down, for discussing his "retirement". Velenti bought it. In the meeting, there were Velenti and three soldiers of his and three soldiers of the Boss. They started eating, waiting for the Boss. After he was too late, Velenti realised it was a set-up and everybody pulled out his guns. It was a real western, which ended with Velenti and his men, dead on the streets. Allegedly, the one who shot Velenti dead, was Salvatore Lucania or best known, Charlie "Lucky" Luciano, who recently was recruited by the Boss. After Velenti's elimination, D'Aquila lost Power and Masseria got way stronger. It was then, that Morello realised, that the Leader who could reclaim the Family's Throne, was his loyal capo, Joe. So he stepped down as the consiliere and Joe became (and officialy), the Boss. Until the mid 20s, the Boss had became the most Powerful Godfather in NY, but D'Aquilas still, held the title. Let's go now, to the "Golden Year" for Joe the Boss's Dominance over the US Underworld, 1928. The Boss, finally decided that he will take over everything, the whole f#ck**n country. To achieve that though, he had to get rid of some obstacles. July, Al Capone took out Frankie Yale on the Boss's order (they had their own dispute). As a reward, the Boss got Al made (besides he wasn't Sicilian, but Napolitean-the Boss, had some others non-Sicilians Italians in his Family, like Vito Genovese and Frank Costello). In October, the "Big Day", it was D'Aquila's time to check-out. A squad head by Morello and D'Aquila's own underboss, Al Mineo (D'Aquila had treated him unfairly), shot him to death, out of his dentist's office. The former Capo di tutti Capi (in name only), was finally in the ground. Next in the Boss's "Blacklist", was the j#w kingpin, Arnold Rothstein. That was both, business & personal. Rothstein had to go, because he was a sneaky, ruthless cockroach (like all those "Christ-killers"). The whole "angry gambler" thing, was just the cover. After all this "cleaning of the house", Joe was the ultimate Boss of the US Underworld. He had took over the organisations/territories of all the obstacles he got rid of (he appointed his puppet-bosses, to run them on his behalf, like subsidiaries companies). The only real force in the Underworld, which hadn't submitted yet, was the Castellammarese Clan. But, this is well known. The fact that isn't so well known, is that the one who orchestrating the death of Chicago Godfather and President of the Unione Siciliana, Antonio Lombardo, was no other, than Joe "the Boss" Masseria (in the "Golden Year", again). Lombardo had to go for two reasons: a) The Boss, wanted to take over the Unione Siciliana (political brunch of Cosa Nostra-with strong presence in Chicago), b) Lombardo had Capone as his backing, and the Boss, wanted Capone with no "connection", so he would put him under his Protection. Later, in 1930, when Castellammarese Godfather of Detroit & important figure within the Unione Siciliana had insulted the Boss, by his dishonoring refusal of supporting him to be the new Head of the Organisation, he ordered Milazzo's death. The contract took Milazzo's rivals in Detroit, who ambushed him, while he was waiting for a "sit-down" (like the Velenti thing). That was Joe the Boss. A survivor, a fighter, a soldier, a Leader, a General, an Emperor. A real Godfather, a real Boss. Like New York Police had reported: "He was bigger of them all. Bigger than Al Capone". "He was Leader of every kind of racket. Not even a slice of spaghetti got sold, without him took tribute"!!!
