Nyc has a very tough history. Read up on tenements, Tammany hall, 5 points, battery park tied to Ellis Island. For extra credit read how the NY Times caused fake electors to be sent in 1876 election causing the wrong person to win.
Also NY times just released a big article on child labor practices in the US today. It's very sad. This is still happening.
