I changed the name of this page from "Barnburners" to "Barnburners and Hunkers." There is no separate article on just Hunkers, and the article that was originally called just "Barnburners" had equal information for both groups. Also, the way the article was constructed, the causal observer would think that Hunkers were the same thing as Barnburners, rather than their opponents (I made that mistake when I first saw it). I just felt that this change would help to clarify. Kakashi-sensei 14:32, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Hunkers: does it ot also mean kneeling down, when your hamstrings are touching your calves? i.e he was kneeling on his hunkers?

In the last page a reference is made to "conscience Whigs." Could this phrase be elaborated on or linked to another pertinent article? LicenseAppliedFor (talk) 00:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
