Thomas+Nast



Thomas Nast was a political cartoonist. He started to draw political cartoons about "Boss Tweed" saying that Tweed was stealin money from the government, which led to Tweed's arrest. Tweed offered Nast thousands of dollars to stop making the political cartoons. The government started paying attention to the cartoons and noticed that some money was stolen. Tweed got arrested all because of Nast's cartoons.
