== Huh? ==
The article currently says:
{{cquote|After the American Civil War they succeeded the moderate Republicans who had been more interested in maintaining the spoils system than the Radical Republicans commitment to civil rights.}}
I thought Half-Breeds were pushing for civil service reform to replace the spoils system? Now yes, its leader James G. Blaine may have individually supported the spoils system and corruption/patronage it brought, though the faction as a whole pushed for the Pendleton Act. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|<sup>(TALK PAGE</sup>]] <sup>|</sup> [[Special:Contributions/Liberaltears|<sup>CONTRIBUTIONS)</sup>]]''''' Tuesday, 15:54, November 9, 2021 (EST)
