, 14:13, February 10, 2010→"The United States invented popular parties in the 1790s"
This phrase definitely needs clarifying. It's clearly not true that political parties were an American invention - the Whig and Tory parties came into being in Britain in 1678, over 100 years before the emergence of American parties. Perhaps it should be rephrased somewhere along the lines of "Popular political parties emerged in the United States in the 1790s."

Just a suggestion.
