Political machine were political groups that emerged in the late 19th Century that usually managed immigrants and set them up, if immigrants would vote for them in return political machines will provide food, housing and jobs for the immigrants. A Political group was commanded by a boss that had enough votes to maintain political and administrative control of a city, county or state.

The political machines were detracting the basic principles of economy and political freedom in the US by people doing voting and party work to get others to vote for them like some kind of slavery, owning people once consent was given by the weak one. From the economical point of view these political machines were trying to concentrate the economy on their side by using their political status to assigned government contracts and jobs to those that did favors to them and this way creating a big spiral of corruption and putting in danger the political an economical policies of US.

Can you please tell me anything about the tower of London?
Nataliya [291]

The Tower of London was built in the year 1078 by King William, Duke of Normandy.

This Tower is more than 1000 years old and is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe. History tells us that King Edward of England failed to keep a promise to give his throne to William, Duke of Normandy but instead gave it to Harold Godwinson, his English brother in law.

William became angry and sent his army across the English channel to conquer England and on October 14, 1066 he fought with Harold and won the battle. Later that year on Christmas day, William was crowned King.

To keep the unruly citizens of  London in line,  he decided he needed a stronghold and so he built the Tower to act as his fortress.

With time, other smaller towers, extra buildings, walls, and walkways were added gradually transforming the original building into the splendid example of castle, fortress, prison, palace and finally museum that we enjoy today.

The Tower of London is a  tourists attraction today.
