What was the political machine and what did they do for a city?
they were organizations that provided social services and jobs for votes
These machines were run by bosses.


Tell me about Boss Tweed and the Tweed Ring
William Tweed was a “boss” of a political machine
The Tweed ring controlled New York City’s finances
When John T. Hoffman was governor of New York Tweed was in control of every government thing.
