Those are the words from a guy in the comments of the video, and I think it make sense
« They're is different organizations. Naples has the Camorra, Calabria has the N'drengheta and Sicily has the Sicilian Mafia . The Cosa Nostra in America is a blend of all 3 with its own rules »

Yep, and they all migrated to the US in the late 1800s/early 1900s with the Mafia being the dominant group of the three. After they merged to create La Cosa Nostra, the newspapers continued using the term Mafia because they hadn't discovered the new name yet. »
« they're similar but not the same. Cosa Nostra was started in 1931 at the end of the Castellammarese war. The Sicilian mafia is a separate organization, similar but different rules and structure. Before the Cosa Nostra was founded the US had the Cammora and Sicilian Mafia operating here , they even had a big war in new york from 1915-1918. »
I think its really make sense. Now the Cosa Nostra and The Mafia is the same thing because of the links between the US italians and the sicilians. But, it does make sense that the US are the Cosa Nostra and the Sicilian were the mafia at the begining.
Even, when you search in the mob american history, you find the war between the mafia and camorra in New York.
So could the Cosa Nostra be the American Italian organization original name, after the merging of all the italians in America ? The Mafia and the Camorra were no more, it was simply the Cosa Nostra ? The merging of italian groups of New York ?
And with time, the all the names became the same things ?
