Y los judíos representaron una muy buena parte de ellos. Lo de Sicilia nos lo han hecho creer las películas de Hollywood. Por otra parte, Al Capone no fue el peor de todos, sino el que las películas, como Los Intocables, dieron mucha fama. Además, Capone no era siciliano, sino que nació en Brooklyn, Nueva York, y sus padres procedían de distintas partes de Italia: Nápoles y Salerno. Y tampoco Elliot Ness fue el terror ...

The completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 was a monumental achievement. Linking the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, it transformed New York City into a hub of international trade, drove the rise of industrial cities in once sparsely populated areas, and accelerated the westward expansion of the United States.
