Amsterdam failed to avenge his father, 'The Butcher' did not kill him, I don't know if it was because 'Priest' spared his life, or something else.

And Bill, the boss of the largest gang, the Natives, has become a ruler of New York City. However, in the end, everything was destroyed by the sound of the rumbling cannons. Local, foreign, everything seems insignificant in front of the state apparatus. The most powerful is the state.
