It would take pages and pages for me to explain the terrible shenanigans that Boss (and his team) participated in. Please Google "Boss Tweed" and you'll find a treasure of information.
When you consider that today's NY politicians get booted out of office for "accidentally" tweeting body parts, you'll see that they're "angels" compared to Mr. Tweed!!

∙ 11y agoNo, Boss Tweed was never the mayor of New York City. He had a number of political positions in the course of his career, including a member of the House of Representatives and a New York state senator. Most of his infamous influence derived from his wealth and his connections to (and conspiracies with) other influential people, rather than being the direct result of his political office.
