Boss Tweed

Boss Tweed was the leader of the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City. He worked with the Democratic Party and was arrested for corruption in 1873.

In the image, Boss Tweed, or William Magear Tweed, is cleaning up the street of criminals but he is himself a criminal. It shows the hypocrisy of the political machine and him that he was stealing money from corrupt schemes in New York but was focused as a political leader on getting pickpockets and thieves off of the streets. Tweed was arrested for price gouging, or over charging for city services, and theft of tax dollars which he was able to do by running the political system and placing friends and allies in city jobs.

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
