Grant's presidency from 1869 to 1877, often characterized by widespread corruption and patronage. Despite his military achievements during the Civil War, Grant's administration faced numerous scandals, including the Crédit Mobilier and the Whiskey Ring, which tarnished his legacy. The term can also reflect a broader critique of similar practices in governance where loyalty is prioritized over competence.
