Oh heck, I bet old Ulysses was just snockered. He probably didn't even remember issuing the order in the morning, and then he was just too embarrassed to rescind it. (Aw c'm ON guys, I didn't say THAT, did I? Anybody got an Alka-Selzer or something? Hey, Corporal, could you just be a little quieter when you breathe? My head hurts something awful here ...)

Given the fact that there's no indication of animosity toward Jews anywhere in Grant's long public life, that's probably true.
