During the Iron Age, humanity was able to expand greatly on the discoveries made during the stone and bronze ages by using iron to make tools.
These tools were stronger and more durable than the earlier ages and formed the basis of life for a long time as they were used to make everyday tools such as spoons to weapons of warfare such as arrows and swords.
Corrupt politicians were the order of the day in 19th century political machines; these politicians, through the bosses, would give and jobs and contracts to those who supported them.
