NEW YORK CiTY GANGS OF THE 1950'S.The New York City Gangs Of 1950's were Chicago's first gangs developed along ethnic lines out of the volunteer fire departments during the antebellum period. With names like "Fire Kings," these outfits of young, often single working-class men competed against one another in departmental reviews, brawled in the streets, and conducted social events. "Running with the machine" was celebrated in the dime novels of the day as part of the culture of manly bravado. When the professionalization of fire fighting departments forced volunteer companies to disband, the locus of gang life shifted into saloons, where "political fixers" harnessed the energies of these men. Just Chicago?? No. This was also in England. Gang violence of the 1950's was found in America + England. Search it up if you dont believe me!! (: ThAnKs fOr rEaDiNg.
