The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Were political machines during the gilded age bad for their communities, or were they necessary evil and a way for ordinary people to improve their lot in life?
I consider that somewhat they benefited in some aspects of the communities but the issue was that political machines were really interested in their own agendas and political influence. These political machines used the benefit of the community as an excuse or as a facade to cover their real intentions.
For instance, let's remember the case of the political machine known as Tammany Hall that gained so much power in New York City and exerted its power and control over politicians.
The word you should have received was:
Independence
Delaware would be the answer to your problem.
The British never took the revolutionary war and they never tried to win the heart of the colonies by their policies and this was the way the British leaders misunderstood the revolutionary war. The British had to pay the ultimate price of giving the colonies their independence because of this misunderstanding.
