Briefly explain an event or idea from the period 1865–1898 that could be used to support or refute Ackerman’s perspective.

''It's hard not to admire the skill behind Tweed's system, though. The Tweed ring at its height was an engineering marvel, strong and solid, strategically deployed to control key power points: the courts, the legislature, the treasury and the ballot box. Its frauds had a grandeur of scale and an elegance of structure: money-laundering, profit sharing and organization… His aid took many forms, state money for schools and hospitals, lumps of coal at Christmas, and city patronage jobs to put bread on family dinner tables…. The ring had only one fatal flaw: its humanity. Human beings composed it, governed by greed, vanity and fear. Greed ultimately took control; they stole too much and lost their nerve. Treachery broke the ring more than any outside force. '

An event that could be used to support Ackerman's perspective is the Tweed Ring Scandal of the late 19th century.

William M. Tweed, also known as "Boss Tweed," was a corrupt political leader and head of Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party political machine in New York City.

He and his associates controlled the city's government and used their power to embezzle millions of dollars from the city's treasury. They also controlled the courts, legislature, and ballot box, and used their positions to enrich themselves at the expense of the city's taxpayers.

The Tweed Ring Scandal supports Ackerman's perspective in that it illustrates how a corrupt political system can be created and maintained through strategic deployment of power and control.

The "engineering marvel" that Tweed created, as Ackerman describes it, was a sophisticated system of fraud and corruption that allowed the Tweed Ring to control key institutions and enrich themselves at the expense of the public.

However, as Ackerman also points out, the Tweed Ring ultimately fell apart due to the greed, vanity, and fear of its members, as well as treachery within the organization.
