William Magear Tweed was an American politician that got his hand-picked candidates elected governor and mayor, thanks to being the head of the Tammany Hall.

He was better known as Boss Tweed for being the head of Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party apparatus that played a decisive role in 19th century New York politics. At the height of his rise, Tweed was the third largest landowner in New York, head of the Erie Railway, the Tenth National Bank, the New York Printing Company, and owner of the Metropolitan Hotel.

Tweed was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1852 and the City Council of New York City in 1856. In 1858, Tweed became the "Grand Sachem" of Tammany Hall. In 1867 he was elected to the Senate of the State of New York.

Tweed was convicted of stealing between $ 40 and $ 200 million (based on the inflation rate or devaluation of 2.7% since 1870, the amount varies between $ 1.5 billion and $ 8 billion in 2010) from tax payers New York City resorting to corruption. Tweed died in the federal prison of Ludlow Street in New York.

List the three places lbj wanted to build the great society and explain at least one problem in each of these three places
timurjin [86]
The first place is the cities

He understood that cities were growing more and more and that it was necessary for a society that plans to prosper to invest in infrastructure and build new real estate, build things like highways, bridges, and similar things that would enable cities to grow and prosper and the people to live well. He knew this because people were moving into cities more and more. The problem in cities was high density and overpopulation.

The second is the countryside

He believed that all that is beautiful in America, things like rivers, mountains, national parks, forests, and similar, is riddled with pollution and he wanted to stop this and help the United States remain a beautiful and a healthy place to be in. He stated that if they lose the natural splendor of the US that they would never get it back again. The problem in nature was pollution.

The third were the classrooms

He believed that the citizens of the United States need to get educated and need to have easier access to higher education. He provided numerous details on how few people actually graduate from colleges or universities and how there is a high amount of people without a high-school diploma and similar things and wanted to educate people. The problem here is lack of education.
