Changes to Article[edit]
I made changes to the article with a reliable source. Grantism was defined by U.S. Senator Charles Sumner in 1872. Throughout the years it has had evolving definitions. {Cmguy777 (talk) 20:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)}
- In the current revision, there's only one definition given Tedickey (talk) 20:27, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Grant as reformer[edit]
I added a new section to the article on Grant as a reformer. The section is incomplete. However, I believe this adds balance to the article and alleviates POV against Grant. Cmguy777 (talk) 06:08, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Added more information using McFeely-Woodward (1974) as references. Cmguy777 (talk) 18:23, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Clarify?[edit]
I don't understand this sentence:
"It [the term 'Grantism'] was made to create a distinction between what Sumner believed between the Republican Party and Ulysses S. Grant."
I guess it's the double 'between' that's throwing me. Do we mean to say 'Grantism' created a distinction between (a) what Sumner believed the Republican Party to be (and/or represented, i.e. his own beliefs) and (b) the party under Grant? Would love Cmguy777 to rewrite. Woodshed (talk) 01:45, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
