"The Tenure Act was passed by Congress in 1867, sponsored by Radical Republicans, to curb the power of President Andrew Johnson in making government office appointments. The controversial law had been invoked during the impeachment trial of Johnson in 1868." Cmguy777 (talk) 20:52, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Sumner

I am not sure the full version of Grant and Sumner is being told. Sumner was for Alaska Annexation, that mainly was done by white people, Russians and Americans. Indians did not count. It is quite possible, Sumner did not want Santo Domingo (Dominica) to be annexed, because the population was mostly black. Sumner believed blacks were better suited to live independently in the Carribean. The Dominican population voted for annexation. Sumner said no way. Sumner did not vote for Grant's anti-Klan legislation. Sumner was also angry at not being appointed Secretary of state. I don't think the Santo Domingo annexation attempt should be called a scheme. Sumner may have turned into a moderate when it came to his racial views. Cmguy777 (talk) 01:33, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
