Politicians such as Tweed and Powers would pretend to be generous and caring about their community all while committing voter fraud, stealing tax money, and more. Ultimately, the rich got richer while the poor suffered.]]> 2021-02-01 17:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/madelaine_e_hoffman1/5mlb9bnekvvmfbey/wish/1150090857 jaysonfong5073 https://padlet.com/madelaine_e_hoffman1/5mlb9bnekvvmfbey/wish/1150113010 Political machines gave immigrants resources like homes,  jobs, funding, food, and more in exchange for their votes.
