THE ERA OF IMMIGRATION IN NEW YORK

THE ERA OF IMMIGRATION IN NEW YORK

Music by Syon (Thomas Nicosia) Prelude in Em.

By 1900, the center of economic development was New York, one of the most prosperous and cosmopolitan cities in the world. Eighty percent of the biggest billing companies in America were based in this metropolis. Everything was happening in those streets, in fact you crossed the capitals from Wall Street with the labor of Italian migrants landed by the transatlantic at Ellis Island.
In the island were waiting for a hundred inspectors and health officers inside a huge center for immigration.
By 1910, the number of Italians living in New York was nearly half a million, two-thirds of whom were men. They lived in promiscuity and in the almost total absence of hygiene.
The neighborhoods in which immigrants went to live were the oldest in the city, occupied by two generations before by the Irish. It was Elizabeth and Mulberry Street.
The only advantage over those who worked in Italy was the salary. Decidedly higher in the United States of America. Even if life cost much more Italian immigrants, enduring tremendous deprivations, were able to put something aside and then send it home.
Immediate were the clashes with the Irish community already present in New York. The two communities immediately began a real racial conflict.
In those years, the Irish controlled the metropolis through Tammany Hall, an Irish political organization. It was clear that social political control was carried out with violence.

THE CASTELLAMARESE WAR PART 2

THE CASTELLAMARESE WAR PART 2

After the death of Mineo Lucky Luciano had become one of the most important collaborators of Masseria. The first misunderstandings began between the two. Masseria did not trust anyone except Sicilians to make criminal deals. Luciano, on the other hand, did not have these limits. Among his best allies were two Jews like the two criminals Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel. Luciano could not stand Masseria's refusals to his innovative ideas to expand the business into new criminal activities such as prostitution, gambling and trade unions. The Castellammarese war had caused deaths on both sides.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.

JOE THE BOSS - GIUSEPPE MARANZANO

JOE THE BOSS - GIUSEPPE MARANZANO

Today we think of the "mafia" as a synonym for organized crime, in reality at the beginning the American mafia was not that organized. In the early 1900s it was poorly structured. The symptom of this lack of organization was the brutal wars between the minor gangs waged against each other for domination over the various rackets. The gangs formed by the Italians compared to those of the Jews and Irish were much better organized and the components disciplined, ruthless and efficient, especially at times when wars were unleashed over the disputes over territories and customers. The survival of individual criminals required courage, cruelty and a lot of luck. Joe Masseria was one of the few organized crime leaders who embodied these qualities.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.

THE PROHIBITION ERA

THE PROHIBITION ERA

Starting from the twenties, the underworld in the United States of America and consequently the Cosa Nostra changed drastically. The cause of all this was to be attributed to Prohibition. In addition, as regards the American mafia, an important contributing cause should not be overlooked, namely the strong repression of the fascist regime against the Italian mafia, which took place in the same period of time. In fact, this led to the flight of many Sicilian mafia to the new continent. The era of so-called Prohibition comes into force in the United States with the approval of the eighteenth amendment to the American constitution. According to this new law, passed in 1919, the production and distribution and retail sale of any alcoholic beverage was prohibited in the United States of America, essentially the offender committing a federal crime.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.
