Mafia (Cosa Nostra) in America
Introduction
The American Mafia (also known as American Cosa Nostra or Italian-American Mafia)
is an Italian American criminal society and offshoot of the Sicilian Mafia. It emerged on
the East Coast of the United States during the late 19th century following waves of Sicilian
and Southern Italian emigration. Many Sicilians and other Italians, who were tired of living
in the horrible conditions of Italy where almost everyone was below the poverty line and
was treated with contempt by the government, began emigrating to the United States in
the 1800s with the dreams of the perfect American life. There was a sudden spurt of Italians
emigrating to the U.S. during the early 20th Century. While most of the Italians worked hard
to earn their daily bread through legal means, some of them brought the ways of the Sicilian
Mafia with them.
eBooks Titanic and the Mafia (Cosa Nostra) are composed of old reports and information that
highlight the real circumstances and events as they happened.
