Sherman, THE DESTROYER & WAR CRIMINAL, never owned a single slave BUT the famous GEN U.S. Grant owned 2 slaves (They were listed by name on his Personal Property List) until all Union officers were ORDERED to free their slaves in 1864, by the Secretary of War.
(Grant was far from the only Union officer who had “body servants “.)
