Markii uu waydiiyay wariye cajiib ah sababta uu u sii dhacayo bangiyada, “Slick Willie” Sutton waxa uu ugu jawaabay si aan gabasho lahayn: “maxaa yeelay halkaas ayay lacagtu ku taal.”

Xilligii ugu horreeyay ee dhaca bangiyada taariikhda Mareykanka waxay ku beegan tahay ballaarinta waddanku dhanka galbeed. Kooxo roaming ah oo sharci-darro ah sida Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch iyo James-Younger Gang ayaa ku dhex wareegay fabled, sharcilaawayaasha Wild West, dhaca bangiyada, kor u taagaya tareenada, iyo dilka saraakiisha fulinta sharciga. Taariikhyahanadu waxay rumaysan yihiin in xatooyadii ugu horaysay ee bangi ee Maraykanka ay dhacday markii saaxiibadii Jesse iyo Frank James ay dhaceen Ururka Kaydka ee Degmada Clay ee Liberty, Missouri bishii Febraayo 13, 1866. Baanka waxaa lahaan jiray maleeshiyaad hore oo Jamhuuri ah iyo walaalihii James iyo saaxiibadood. qunyar socod iyo qadhaadh ex-Confederates. Kooxdan burcadda ah ayaa la baxsaday lacag dhan 60,000$ waxayna dhaawaceen qof aan waxba galabsan oo goobta ku sugnaa intii ay ku guda jireen howsha baxsashada. Wax yar ka dib, walaalaha James waxay ku biireen xoogagga sharci-darrada ah Cole Younger iyo dhowr kale oo hore oo Confederates ah si ay u sameeyaan Gang James-Younger. Waxay u safreen koonfurta iyo galbeedka Maraykanka, iyagoo doortay inay dhacaan bangiyada iyo tababarayaasha masraxa inta badan iyadoo ay hor joogaan dad badan. Waxay noqdeen kuwo ka weyn nolosha geesiyaal ka soo horjeeda reer galbeedka iyo kuwii horeConfederacy. Kooxda duurjoogta ah, oo shaqaynaysay horraantii 1900-meeyadii oo ay ka muuqatay Butch Cassidy, Kid Sundance, iyo Ben Kilpatrick, waxay ahayd koox kale oo sharci-darro ah oo ka tirsan Wild West. Iyadoo ay ugu horrayn dhaceen tareenada, The Wild Bunch ayaa mas'uul ka ahaa dhowr tuugo bangi oo ay ku jiraan mid ka dhacay Bangiga First Nation Bank ee Winnemucca, Nevada in ka badan $32,000.

Iyadoo tirada sii kordhaysa ee dadku degeen oo ay horumariyeen Galbeedka, waagii Sharcigii tuuganimada bangiga ayaa meesha ka baxay, kaliya waxaa lagu bedelay "Cadowga Dadweynaha" 1930-meeyadii. Korodhka tuuganimada bangiyada iyo dambiyada abaabulan intii lagu jiray 1920-meeyadii iyo 1930-meeyadii ayaa ku qasbay J. Edgar Hoover inuu horumariyo Xafiiska Baarista Federaalka ee la xoojiyey (FBI). Waxa uu ereyga "cadowga guud" u soo qaatay in uu yahay mid xayaysiin ah oo uu ula jeedo dambiilayaasha la raadinayo ee horay loogu eedeeyay dambiyada. Hoover waxa uu u gudbiyay kala soocida shakiga leh ee ah in uu yahay "Cadawga Dadweynaha No. 1" si uu u mamnuucay John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, iyo Alvin "Creepy" Karpis siday u kala horreeyaan, maadaama mid walba la dilay ama la xiray. Ka soo horjeedka dib-u-dhacii weynaa ee niyad-jabka, tuugadii bangiyada ee "cadowga dadweynaha" mid kasta ayaa u muuqday mid weyn oo soo jiidasho leh. Ku dhawaad ​​maanta, Harvey John Bailey, oo bangigiisii ​​dhacay intii u dhaxaysay 1920 iyo 1933 uu ka helay in ka badan $1 milyan, ayaa loo yaqaan "Dean of American Robbers Bank." John Dillinger iyo budhcaddiisii ​​la socotay waxay dhaceen daraasiin bangi intii u dhaxaysay 1933 iyo 1934 waxaana laga yaabaa inayurursaday in ka badan $300,000. Iyadoo Dillinger uu ku noolaa meel u dhow Robin Hood oo ka tirsan dhaqanka Maraykanka, lammaanihiisa, Baby Face Nelson, ayaa ahaa lidka ku ah. Nelson wuxuu caan ku ahaa toogashada sharci-yaqaannada iyo dadka aan waxba galabsan labadaba, wuxuuna heystaa rikoorka dilka wakiillo ka badan FBI-da oo gudanaya waajibaadkooda marka loo eego dambiilayaasha kale. Guusha “cadowgan shacabka” waxay ahayd muddo gaaban; Sannadkii 1934-kii FBI-du waxay xidh-xidhay oo dishay Dillinger, Nelson, iyo Floyd.

Iyadoo tuuganimada bangiyadu ay sii ahayd wax caadi ah horraantii 1900-aadkii dembiilayaasha sida Bonnie & Clyde, kobcinta tignoolajiyada ka hortagga tuuganimada ayaa ka dhigtay mid aad u adag in la dhaco bangiga oo laga baxo xilligan casriga ah. Xirmooyinka dheeha ee qarxa, kamaradaha amniga, iyo alaarmiga aamusan ayaa dhamaantood gacan ka geystay hoos u dhaca tuugada bangiyada ee guusha leh. In kasta oo waagii qaaliga ahaa ee tuuggii baananka Maraykanku innaga danbeeyay, haddana dembiga waxa weli isku dayaya dad badan oo lacag sahal ah raadinaya.
