Corruption in the second half of the 19th century was widespread, particularly in political systems and emerging industrial economies. In the United States, for example, practices like graft, bribery, and patronage were rampant in both local and federal governments, exemplified by scandals such as the Tweed Ring in New York City. Similarly, in Europe, rapid industrialization and urbanization often led to corrupt practices among officials, as they sought personal gain amid the lack of regulatory oversight.
