PAGE 20 IN YOUR NOTEBOOK Political Machines: ● “Bosses” Accepted bribes in return for favors ● Embezzled money by over-charging on city contracts ● Provided jobs/services to immigrants and friends in exchange for loyalty and votes (sometimes fraudulent ones) “There’s gotta be in every [neighborhood] somebody that anyone can come to … and get help. None of your ‘law and justice,’ but help.”

BOSS TWEED- 1.What is important to him? 2.How would you describe his personality?

Political Bosses like “Boss Tweed” provided jobs and services to the poor, helping them settle in or become citizens, The immigrants voted for the political bosses in exchange for help, increasing the power and influence of the machine. Sometimes there was not enough voter loyalty for the bosses to get elected. Political machines would sometimes use fake names to cast fraudulent (fake) votes to get elected. Some cities were too overwhelmed with the surge of immigrants to keep up with basic services and infrastructure. Political machines got streets paved, pipes installed, or approved construction that was needed which benefitted the city in need and gave the machines influence and power. To reward people loyal to them, bosses would give out jobs or contracts with the municipal (city’s) government. When political machines got someone a job/contract with the city, they would ask that person to overcharge the city and give the boss a “kickback,” or illegal profit. Political bosses controlled hiring of police force.Police rarely interfered with illegal dealings of the political machines Political Machine corruption became a national issue in politics US Congress passed the Pendleton Civil Service Act to ensure federal jobs were given to those who passed a test
