edit- ... that despite having served as a member of the United States Congress, John G. Campbell was unable to prove to a court that he was a United States citizen?

- QPQ done
- Hook is most interesting, and brief enough
- Expanded today almost 9x
- The one ref I have access to checks out, AGF on the three books
- Article has inline citations, one news article and three books (Black Mountain Press appears okay)
- I corrected a few small grammar issues
- One paragraph in the political career section handles neutrality well
- Issues / Suggestions:
- "During his time in office, he introduced a variety of petitions and about 18 bills during his term including a bill to repeal the tariffs on movable type and paper." I think one of the two bold clauses should be removed as they seem redundant.
- "The campaign was dominated by the candidate's personalities..." Was this the personality of one candidate or all of them? If all, then it should be "candidates' personalities"
