New Orleans Mafia Part 2- Death of Raphael Agnello: The First Godfather?
Some consider Raphael Agnello to be the first "Godfather" of the Sicilian Mafia in the United States. He was shot in the face on April Fools Day in 1869 as a bloody war, initiated by him, for control over New Orleans began.
I used many newspapers and other primary resources but my biggest source was Deep Water: Joseph P. Macheca and the Birth of the American Mafia by Martha Sheldon and Thomas Hunt. www.amazon.com/Deep-Water-Joseph-Macheca-American/dp/1453732691
New Orleans has a very deep and intriguing history of the underworld and I wanted to start out with one of the big headlines to get the ball rolling. In the next video I will go back to the events that lead up to the murder and then...

    This guy has to do some more research. Rugby did not come out of Association Football. If anything it's the other way around.. According to the mythology William Webb Ellis is the one that first ran with the ball. This guy even agrees with that fact. The date attributed to him doing so is in the mid 1820s. A Wikipedia search of Association Football states that the first published rules of "Football" came from Rugby School in 1845. The same source states that The Football Association was not formed until 1863. That's a full 40 years after Webb Ellis ran with the ball and 20 years after Rugby School published the Laws of Rugby. So, explain to me how the chicken came before the egg.

      @rittherugger160 it's all about words. When someone says "football" they think modern soccer instead of the sport it derived from. They don't know about or factor in rule changes. Football 200 years ago was vastly different and unfamiliar.

    Interesting! This was very close to the Gallatin strip, the most dangerous part of the city in the 1840s-50s. I don't believe the mafia was here yet, or even the Black Hand. Not too many Sicilians yet, either. More 1880s/90s. Black Hand mostly active here in the late 1890s-1910. Did not know about the Marine Hotel, though--look forward to watching more of your videos.

    • @HistoryIlluminated
      @HistoryIlluminated Год назад

      The book that I am finishing covers everything. The Sicilian Underworld was here a long time before it was taken over by the Mafia. Gallatin was vastly different than this spot. They might as well have been in two separate cities. One was secretive and foreign while the other was wild and open.

    Are you positive that was Levee street? There was another street just a couple blocks downriver and a block closer to the river that runs adjacent to the two blocks of the French Market vendors that was notorious for shootings killings and gangs. Was pretty sure that was Levee street but I could easily be wrong. Also the Italian restaurant to the right of 122 is called “Franks” named for Frank Gagaliano whose family has strong ties to Marcelo. How did you miss that!

Before the projects were built, small tenement buildings stood, and in 1931 Vincent Coll attempted to kidnap another mobster Joey Rao and a shootout took place. Coll accidently shot a little boy playing out front named Michael Vengalli and killed him.

    In terms of the Castellano-Bilotti hit, there were 4 shooters coming down from the east side of the street, wearing Russian hats and trenchcoats. One shooter was positioned on the street opposite the Steakhouse. Sammy the Bull as driver, with John Gotti, orchestrated the hit and passed by , subsequently, making sure both Paulie and Tommy were dead...they then sped off. By the way, Sparks Steakhouse has impeccable food. Remember , as you're eating your bloody steak ,of the blood that was shed outside on the street back 36+ years ago..
