sionnach commented on the word red-legged grasshoppers
North Carolina Senator Zebulon Vance campaigned against revenue laws in 1876, terming the revenue agents as "red-legged grasshoppers." Because of the revenuers, Vance complained, "The time has come when an honest man can't take an honest drink without having a gang of revenue officers after him."
