	Fracas in Congress: The Battle of Honor between Matthew Lyon and Roger Griswold (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A politician in the United States in 1798 was at once an elected official and a gentleman, ultra-conscious of his reputation and ceaselessly striving to maintain the utmost deportment.
		Thus perhaps Griswold's intent was equally to disgrace the House of Representatives, the legislative body that had failed to restore his integrity, and to dishonor the "Spitting Lyon" himself.
		The United States was a young, fragile, unstable experiment and the world was watching it squirm under uncontrollable, divisive, ideological forces while it combated France's naval power in a Quasi-war that fanned the flames of partisan hostility at home.
