suggestion/answer

It was said somewhere that gangs were first started as sort of a protection method from racial crimes being committed against black people. Younger people would form groups to watch their neighborhood from any such crimes. Eventually, the groups started getting into fights with each other. I heard this on TV somewhere

===============================================================

Some Gangs were inadvertent. Car Clubs began in the 30's and 40's and slowly turned into gangs. Tagging Crews began spraypainting and turned into gangs. As the answer above states, protection.

While gangs are created for protection, they were also created so they could create a brotherhood between people. The earliest gangs known in the US started in the 1780's, which is almost immediately after the Revolutionary war
