In keeping with my friend CompTron's desire to disambiguate the world, I offer an explanation of the many kinds of Whigs:
- 17th Scottish Coventers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Party
- British constitutional monarchary advocates circa 1688-1800: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Whig_Party
- British "Radical Whigs" who have something to do with the American Revolution, though Wikipedia offers little helpful information on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_Whigs
- American revolutionaries and patriots: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_%28American_Revolution%29
- Members of the American Whig party circa 1833-1856: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig_Party_%28United_States%29
- Members of the British Liberal party circa 1830-1998: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_%28UK%29
- Members of the current British Lib-Dem party: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Democrats
- Members of the "True Whig Party," the only legal party in Liberia from 1878-1980: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Whig_Party
