This is too big a topic for me to handle on my own right now . . . But why no mention of slavery? Stalwarts turned to machine politics to counter the Democrats, who (until FDR) were the party of state's rights and segregation, and who used violence to oppose Reconstruction in the South. Anti-racism being a minority position in the 1880's, Stalwarts built a patronage machine to keep the Southerners out of power. Half-breeds, on the other hand, were willing to sell out Reconstuction to enact their economic agenda.

Anyone else have any thoughts? Innocent76 09:51, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
