The 2nd link Dwalin posted is the REAL Dixie Mafia. It has never been a true structure to it like the Mafia in NY, Chicago, etc. It was all a loose group of outlaw rednecks that took over and corrupted Southern towns and went wild.

Google Kirksey McCord Nix Jr., "Mr. Mike" Mike Gillich, and definitely watch that link above as that will talk about Nix and Gillich. They were loosely tied in with Marcello in New Orleans with stolen stuff and pushing swag, etc.

Also read up on Alabama Attorney General Albert Patterson who was assassinated in Phenix City Alabama, what was then called the most corrupt city in the U.S. back during the 50's. They were getting Army guys to come across the Chattahoochie River (divides the border between Alabama and Georgia) into Phenix City into places like Girard and rob them or have hookers rob them and send them back to Ft. Benning drunk and broke.
