Apparently, high-fallutin' "sys-ops" expunge and destroy contributions, causing materials to completely vanish. In Wikipedia, uneducated teenagers are able to write "history." That is a strange quality of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is on the way to being filled with silliness. 71.253.41.3314:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Probably because this article is part the white washing of the history of the democratic party. And as always, if they cant ignore their history, they relativize it. If they can't get away with violence, they portraying is as "conflict", massacres and terrorism as "riot". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.212.86.213 (talk) 22:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
the preceding statement is inappropriate. I doubt anyone is editing this to whitewash the 1860s Democratic party.
The same reason the bulk of the article is talking about the supposed illegality (rather a technicality) of election law which at the time was obviously corrupt, instead of the fact that minorities were massacred in the streets by Southerners. I.e. A "non neutral point of view" which only serves to embolden zealots and racists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SUNSHINE INCARNATE (talk • contribs) 19:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The text of the article states that "there were a total of 150 black casualties." The infobox says that there were 150 total casualties. Does anyone know which is accurate?
Estimates from the time are 37 dead, 34 black and three white. Contemporary estimates are much higher, over 200 dead. Black deaths are much higher than white deaths, so 150 could be accurate for either statement. The 150 number is too precise either way.
