Who was he seized by, who conveyed him to Fort Niagara, and can we have some references please? Very broad statement. Jachin 09:13, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
"...he had been foully dealt with." That is not the kind of language i expect from an encyclopedia. I will change it to "he had been murdered." Voice your objections, please.-- 213.101.247.115 13:31, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
There's a reference to Jonathan Blanchard's candidacy for President in the election of 1882. There was no U.S. Presidential election in 1882, although of course a nomination could have been made in that year for the election of 1884 (Cleveland-Blaine). Could anyone clarify? (The article on Jonathan Blanchard doesn't.) —— Shakescene ( talk) 21:14, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
This article is worded in such a way as to convey an apparent bias. Did these events actually happen, or is it mere speculation? This seems like an urban legend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.134.115.5 ( talk) 06:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Dropping this here in case anyone wants to utilize it.
Shouldn't Thaddeus Stevens be mentioned more? I thought he was a very influencual Anti-Mason and was the leader of the Pennsylvania party. And kept Anti Masonry alive in his state longer than the others while using them in successful coalitions with Whigs and Know Nothings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lebcro ( talk • contribs) 08:16, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
In the 19th century "right wing" is associated with support for established elites. Recent scholarship shows that the Masons and anti-masons in USA were quite similar in terms of middle class social status. Ideologically the antis were opposed to any establishment of secretive powerful men. The main motivation for the antis was the fear that Masons were a secret power group that threatened republicanism and the American democratic political system. In that regard they resemble liberal /progressive models of the 1890-1920 era. see (1) Paul Goodman, Towards a Christian republic: Antimasonry and the great transition in New England 1826-1836 ( Oxford University Press, 1988). (2) William Shade, "Review: The Elder Goodman's "Light on Antimasonry"? Reviews in American History (1989) in jstor; (3) Formisano, Ronald P., and Kathleen Smith Kutolowski.

You'll never get an answer to this on "current year" Wikipedia the term "right-wing" is always used to label anything that "not-good." Just be glad, they haven't deleted the article yet. -- Tonitrus1992 ( talk) 04:11, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
