One of the most corrupt and powerful republican politicians during the Gilded Age; he was infamous for his use of the spoils system, patronage, and graft, and was hated by political opponents for his haughty way of acting. Strangely enough, despite all this he was very Progressive, and actively supported Civil Rights.
