Light Of History NYC Tammany Hall Not Always Corrupt
AP report notes Tammany Hall originated May 12 1789 as Society of St Tammany born from patriotic roots and rival to Society of the Cincinnati. It later became a Democratic political machine, with Tweed era corruption and decline after 19th century reforms and 1933 mayor LaGuardia victory, leaving only nominal ties to its founding lineage.
