Turnbuckles are also used extensively in watercraft and aircraft to regulate the lengths and tensions of riggings and rope and cable lines. In all applications, turnbuckles should be selected to be at least as strong as the cable or rope to which they're secured.
The Wade-Davis Bill of 1864 was created by the Radical Republicans, who believed that absolute punishment had to be levied against the South as a condition of re-admittance during Reconstruction. The bill called for a complete abolition of slavery to prevent it from surviving in any way after the war.
In 1789, Madison became a leader in the new House of Representatives, drafting many basic laws. He is notable for drafting the first ten amendments to the Constitution, and thus is known as the Father of the Bill of Rights. Madison worked closely with President George Washington to organize the new federal government. Breaking with Hamilton and what became the Federalist Party in 1791, Madison and Thomas Jefferson organized what they called the Republican Party (later called by historians the Democratic-Republican Party).
