@HeerJeet@tanehisicoates That's not quite right. Grant's peculiar challenge was holding office precisely as patronage became a major issue. -

@HeerJeet@tanehisicoates Greeley's Liberal Republicans, for example, placed it ahead of Reconstruction. Grant decidedly did not. -
@YAppelbaum@tanehisicoates Right. And from our point of view priority they gave to patronage (as against Civil Rights) seems myopic.
