the FACT that U S Grant owned at LEAST 2 slaves at that point could have been "embarrassing" to him, as well.

otoh, lincoln, the TYRANT, was also a notorious racist & antisemite, so perhaps NOT.

Why not just say Grant owned 120 slaves, a couple more than Jefferson Davis did? That would make him even worse than Davis was, wouldn't it?

otoh, lincoln, the TYRANT, was also a notorious racist & antisemite, so perhaps NOT.

Let's elaborate on that a little more and say Lincoln wrote "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and personally founded Hezbollah on a secret trip to the Holy Land in 1854?

I mean...if you're going to lie then why not let loose and tell a real whopper?
