Baisically my question is the original mafiosi how were they made? Were they made in italy and came over here or were they just self proclaimed made men? I know this is a horrible reference but in the Godfather 2 when Vito from what i kno was not made but when he killed the mob boss he was automatically the mob boss? Thanks for any info.
The black hand was an extortion group who would send a message to a store owner or someone else threatening to harm them if they didn't pay them a specific term without even seeing the person threatening them. They weren't the first mafia group the first i can think of was the Morellos but there was probably earlier ones.
