Tammany Hall was a powerful political machine in New York City run by the Democratic Party, most famously by 'Boss' William Tweed. It was known for its corruption and graft, but also heavily influenced city politics and led to several changes in the political system.
Tammany Hall, notable in the history of New York City, was a political organization known as a political machine. Its purpose was to consolidate power and operate to the benefit of its members. It was run by Democratic leaders and famously by 'machine boss' William Tweed. Tammany Hall operated primarily in the late 19th and early 20th century, from the 1850s until the 1930s, and was known for its widespread corruption and grafting.
The organization worked by trading services for political and monetary support, presented through its engagement with the local citizens of New York City. For example, if a community needed a public work, such as sidewalk construction, Tammany Hall representatives would ensure this was done in exchange for future votes and political favors. This operation style exploiting the existing bureaucratic inefficiencies for personal gain became a hallmark of its function.
Despite the corruption connected to Tammany Hall, it was instrumental in shaping New York politics and led to several reforms. Its candidates infiltrated and influenced the political system such that loyalty to the organization held significant weight. This became evident when reformers like Samuel J. Tilden fought against Tammany Hall’s corruption, leading to the ousting of William Tweed.

The two things that greatly helped the American Economy after World War II were the creation of the GI Bill, and the Marshall Plan for helping nations. After WWII the Truman administration passed the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, also known as the GI Bill, by which veterans were provided with low-cost loans to buy a house, or start a business. They also had the opportunity of free college education. The Marshall Plan helped U.S. economy because the European nations and Japan, in return bought machinery from the U.S.

The life for Indigenous populations under the Encomienda system was similar to life for African slaves on plantations in the New World in that both groups were forced to labor under brutal and inhuman conditions for the benefir of European masters.
With the Encomienda system, the Spanish crown defined the Indians status in the new continent. The system –a form of slavery- was similar to the one they used in the Reconquest of Muslim Spain. A Spanish soldier received a grant from the crown of any number of Indians, and the soldier exploited them as slaves. The African slaves of plantations served their owner and they worked in poor conditions. So, the life for Indigenous populations under the Encomienda system was similar to life for African slaves on plantations in the New World in that both groups were forced to labor under brutal and inhuman conditions for the benefit of their masters.
