I only made this connection because when I got married my husband had one in his childhood books and I had never heard of them before then.]]> 2023-07-01 14:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/b_moody3/xzryyn3ism897az1/wish/2636334938 Spoils System b_moody3 https://padlet.com/b_moody3/xzryyn3ism897az1/wish/2636338103 I absolutely did not pay attention in my government class and, unfortunately, dedicate just about the same amount of it to government terms now.
