Places names for Rawlins
It would be interesting to have a section of places -- such as Rawlins, Wyoming -- that are named for John Aaron Rawlins. Astrowest (talk) 17:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Updated and reconstructed article
I have made edits that updated and reconstructed the article. More improvement is needed. Cmguy777 (talk) 04:45, 31 December 2013 (UTC)


 * The American Civil War section can be added to. Bruce Catton's works on the Civil War and Ulysses S Grant could be a good source for Rawlins. Cmguy777 (talk) 19:42, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

POV?
The article states: ''Grant went on to arrest many Mormons, including Young, in a crackdown by federal marshals Grant believed would keep the Mormons from separating from the United States. The militant policy was successful as Young and the Utah Mormons did not rebel.'' The problem with the conclusion drawn in the second sentence is that there is little evidence that the Mormons had a desire to rebel and separate from the United States. In other words, the sentence is drawing a correlation, but it's probably not a causation. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:06, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Rawlins believed the Mormons were going to rebel and personally talked to Brigham Young. What evidence is there that the Mormons were not planning a rebellion ? Grant arrested many Mormons after Rawlins death. There was a crackdown. Was the crackdown justified ? That is up to the readers. Was the crackdown successful ? Yes. The mormons did not rebel. Justification and success are two different subjects. The sentence says the policy was successful only in that the Mormons did not rebel. That part is not disputed. Certainly the Mormons had a history of violence in the Territory. There was a crackdown on polygamy when most Republicans at that time thought that the practice repugnent. Polygamy was the main cause of Grant's crackdown. Cmguy777 (talk) 18:53, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I deleted the sentence but added context that polygamy was the additional reason for the crackdown. Cmguy777 (talk) 19:01, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Information on tuberculosis TB
Putting information on TB in the talk page. Reputation should focus on Rawlins.


 * During Rawlins' lifetime, there were no effective treatments for tuberculosis (TB), the most widespread public concern in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The bacillus causing the disease, M. tuberculosis, was not discovered until March 14, 1882 by Robert Koch. In 1946, the development of the antibiotic streptomycin made effective treatment and cure of TB a reality, however, hopes of completely eliminating TB (cf. smallpox) from the population were dashed after the rise of drug-resistant strains in the 1980s. In addition to antibiotics surgery is also used to treat TB. The subsequent resurgence of tuberculosis resulted in the declaration of a global health emergency by the World Health Organization in 1993." Cmguy777 (talk) 17:32, 24 September 2017 (UTC)


 * The editing concern for the article is resolved. E.g., we have the brief mention in a note about how TB was such a concern. – S. Rich (talk) 19:22, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Title
Should this page be moved to John A. Rawlins? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:21, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Is this a moot point? John A. Rawlins redirects to this article, John Aaron Rawlins. – S. Rich (talk) 19:17, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
