Why did political machines develop in cities?
Political machines developed in cities primarily due to rapid urbanization and the influx of immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As cities grew, they faced numerous social and economic challenges, creating a demand for organized political groups that could provide services, jobs, and support to constituents. These machines often operated through patronage and graft, consolidating power by ensuring loyalty among voters in exchange for assistance. Ultimately, they became a means for political leaders to maintain control and influence over the increasingly complex urban environments.
