City and county politics in the late 1800s were influenced by organizations called political machines.
In American politics, a political machine is a party organization led by a single leader or a limited authoritarian party that has enough power to keep administrative, and political leadership of a city or county.
Political machines were mostly found in the bigger cities of the United States during the late 19th - early 20th centuries, such as in:
- Boston
- Cleveland
