Perhaps the oldest criminal organization, the All Americans can trace their origin all the way back to the founding of Gotham, and a clique who followed a young man named [[Issac Allerton]]. Allerton's rhetoric regarding the greed of the landowning wealthy and his rage against immigrants he viewed as invaders drove his gang's violence and hatred. Allerton's ancestors crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower, which provided the gang with their stylized flower they use as their symbol. Many All Americans wear work boots with the mayflower imprinted in the soles to provide proof after the fact that the gang members had been at work somewhere. | Perhaps the oldest criminal organization, the All Americans can trace their origin all the way back to the founding of Gotham, and a clique who followed a young man named [[Issac Allerton]].

Over the years, the gang has opposed the Irish, the Italian, and Chinese mobsters. Their raids on the opium dens of the [[Golden Dragons|]] at the turn of the century, is a widely-known example. They see themselves as the "Monarchs of Thugs". Their gangs are named for royalty, so a lieutenant might be an "Earl" or a "Duke" and they might command the "Antoinettes" or the "Hapsburgs". | Over the years, the gang has opposed the Irish, the Italian, and Chinese mobsters.
