Tammany Hall was the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in controlling politics in New York City and New York State. William "Boss" Tweed would make sure to "take care of his people" so he could depend on their votes. Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Franklin D. Roosevelt helped get rid of the corruption after political cartoonist Thomas Nast made the corruption public.
