TIL that the Triads originate from the Tiandihui, a secret organization aimed at fighting the Qing dynasty. I want to know if the overseas gangs, in Singapore or the United States, were still concerned about the rule of the Qing. I especially am wondering if they still wore the queue when overseas.
