Boss Tweed

Boss Tweed was the leader of the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City. He worked with the Democratic Party and was arrested for corruption in 1873.

In the image, Boss Tweed, or William Magear Tweed, is cleaning up the street of criminals but he is himself a criminal. It shows the hypocrisy of the political machine and him that he was stealing money from corrupt schemes in New York but was focused as a political leader on getting pickpockets and thieves off of the streets. Tweed was arrested for price gouging, or over charging for city services, and theft of tax dollars which he was able to do by running the political system and placing friends and allies in city jobs.

i believe the answer is c

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
