Tammany Hall. I first heard of it when I was twelve years old, and my English teacher handed me his copy of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
Research: William M. "Boss" Tweed and Tammany Hall - the powerful political machine that ran New York City for decades. Remember the important questions - Who, What, Where, When, Why (and this time HOW these people maintained control is going to be important too!) Have fun!
Create a news article on the arrest of Boss Tweed - what was one powerful factor (think person) in his capture? Where was he found?
Next step - analyzing political cartoons - it's not as difficult as you think!
