There are better U.S. generals to stick on the $50 if you just want military accomplishments alone.

Trump20162020: “ There are better U.S. generals to stick on the $50 if you just want military accomplishments alone.”

The name Douglas MacArthur comes to mind, but by 1952 Democrats hated him and Republicans went with the political general, Eisenhower, over the showboat.

The fact is that both General Grant and President Grant were highly popular in their time.
You could even say Grant was a perfect match for his time.

As a general, Grant’s statistics on offense compare well to Lee’s on offense.
The difference is Grant won all his battles, whether sober or less than.
