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.

why did the economy of the 1920s resulted in quickly expanding prosperity for many Americans, but continued poverty for others
just olya [345]
Not all industries prospered in the Boom in the 1920s of America.

Old industries such as Coal and Cotton did terribly in the Boom as people became interested in the new products such as clothes made from artificial material(polyester). Coal was an old source of power, in the 1920s oil and electricity became greatly used.

Agriculture was also poor many farmers left the farmland to find work in the city. As new people emerged, new demands also appeared. Instead of fresh fruits and vegetables, Americans preferred cereals and bread which lead to the decrease of demands in fruits.

In the 1920s, Argentina and Canada began to supply the world crops which lead to the drops of demands from USA directly. Later in the year Prohibition(anything related to alcoholic drinks was made illegal) was introduced which caused an instant drop to the demands of barley(barley was used for making alcoholic drinks such as beer)
