"If I thought this war was to abolish slavery, I would resign my commission and offer my sword to the other side"

                        -- Ulysses S. Grant

[Non-Sequitur]

“...As soon as slavery fired upon the flag it was felt, we all felt, even those who did not object to slaves, that slavery must be destroyed. We felt that it was a stain to the Union that men should be bought and sold like cattle.” — Ulysses S. Grant, 1878

You and your Southron BS!

Begone, racist varlet!

Give Grant a break...he was probably totally snockered when he said that.

It is doubtful that Grant said that. He made many statements to the contrary.
