The bosses of the political machines were in control of many city jobs like police and fire department jobs, and they cheated through many ordinary citizens. The machines were also in control of many business and nobody benefitted except the ones that wanted the status quo to remain, and nobody got any power except for the conservative men that ran these machines.

Infrastructure includes all of the necessities that are required for large populations or organizations to operate correctly. The lack of infrastructure meant a lack of roads, sewage and power systems, and transportation. If a city is without these essential facilities and types of equipment, they are more likely to be burdened by many difficulties. For example, poorer neighborhoods that did not have adequate sewage caused them to have an increase in diseases

I think that it is good that the government regulates what is in everything now, because it is important to know what you are putting into your body. Originally Coca Cola put cocaine in Coke, that led to more people buying it because they started getting addicted to it.

African Americans

mostwere centered around the lower class they were seen as lesser than the rich. Adding on that their people of color made it even harder for them.

A tenement is a very very small space where they house up to four families. It was affordable but there were very bad living conditions, Jacob Riis described it as “one or two dark closets, used as bedrooms, with a living room twelve feet by ten” I am guessing there was no electricity, considering they could not pay for it.
