Talk:Washingtonian movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the second to last paragraph it says that the founders of AA had never heard of the Washingtonians and had learned from their mistakes. Which is true? Or are both? Someone needs to clarify this. Rawilson52 (talk) 23:05, 17 February 2009 (UTC) It says they hadn't heard of them when they met in 1935 the traditions were made later. This article needs to be re-researched and distinguished. Both George Washington and his Wife led seperate movements. Whether they personally led them, or their names were used and then made into movements.... They are seperate movements. The article I'm slowly adding and formatting to the Martha Washingtonians are the women of the same time, basically working with the temperance movement. They're signifigant, because unlike George Washington, they don't have any real political power. They have only their morals and 'Republican' ideals. (Not Republican party, but "Republican" versus say.. Dictatorship... or Monarchy..)
- Hi! Thanks for posting this info on the Washingtonian Movement. Do you have more primary or secondary sources you can cite for this article? I'd like to read more about the topic. Also, the easiest, and most common way of distinguishing between the Republican Party and republican ideals (and the Democratic Party and democratic ideals, for that matter) is by varying capitalization, and perhaps pointing out that capitalization. eg "only their morals and 'small r' republican ideals". I hope this was helpful! :-)--Nosimplehiway 12:37, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
