Answer:
William "Boss" Tweed ran the Democratic party machine in 19th century New York City called Tammany Hall and was eventually convicted of corruption and embezzlement of government funds.
Tweed and his accomplices committed about $30 million to $200 million in fraud. It was only after a series of articles in the New York Times in 1871 that these practices came to an end. Tweed was indicted and in 1873 he was sentenced to an initial 12 years in prison. After serving one year, he was released but was immediately arrested again. A civil suit followed, but on December 4, 1875, Tweed managed to escape. He was eventually detained in Spain by the authorities there and extradited to the US where he would remain in prison until his death two years later.

The first immigrant groups that made an impact on the culture and society of the western United States were called Pioneers.
The American pioneers emigrated from the settlements of the East coast to the settlements of the West Coast and colonized new areas.
The term refers especially to those who were going to populate any territory that had not previously been populated or cultivated by the descendants of European or American society, even though the territory may have been inhabited or used by indigenous peoples.
An important advance in the western settlement was the Homestead Act, which provided for formal legislation regulating the settlement process.
