perhaps the biggest was the annexation of the dominican republic, which is something that grant tried to negotiate and submitted a treaty to congress. sumner was largely responsible for defeating that treaty and preventing the annexation. in response, grant used the power of patronage just to attack and harm sumner, preventing some of sumner's friends from removing some of somer's sumner friends from key appointments. and then sumner wood in 1870, to be a crucial leader in a movement called the liberal republicans. this was a third party of republicans who were against grant and did not want to support him in 1872. and so grant and sumner were often at odds throughout his presidency. so these liberal republican ends were different than the radical republicans, correct? correct. yes. the liberal publicans were largely anti grant republicans. they were particularly turned off by a lot of the corruption scandals that began to emerge in grant's administration near the end of his first term. but they were also republicans who favored a amnesty for former confederates who wanted to move on
