In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of the Gilded Age, an era defined by rampant political corruption and bribery. From the infamous Tammany Hall, led by the notorious William Tweed, to the corrupt practices influencing senators in Washington, we explore how greed masked genuine progress in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Learn how these corrupt practices became a cornerstone of politics during this time and the subsequent push for reform that aimed to restore integrity to the political system.
