Stalwart was a term used to describe the conservative[1] wing of the Republican Party during the Gilded Age that stood firmly for equal rights for African Americans and opposed Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan. They opposed the Jim Crow Democrats' efforts to rebuild the Democratic Party in the post-Civil War era with a civil service system that discriminated against Blacks, instead favoring the traditional spoils system.
They were led by Senator Roscoe Conkling of New York and supported Ulysses S. Grant; the Stalwarts were successors of the Radical Republicans who strongly opposed slavery. Vice President Levi P. Morton, John A. Logan, Thomas C. Platt, Frederick Theodore Frelinghuysen, Chester A. Arthur, J. Donald Cameron, Leonidas C. Houk,[2] William B. Allison, and Orlando Hubbs were all Stalwarts as well.
