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 “.)

That is about the most incredible bunch of baloney I have ever seen on one of these lost cause scripts. Other than Sherman not owning a slave there is literally nothing in it that is correct.

You are welcome to hold any OPINION that you wish, as it’s called FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION but you are WRONG.

WHEN/IF you have spent over 15 years doing research from the original documents of TWBTS era (rather than the FICTION & REVISIONIST PROPAGANDA, that often passes for “history” in 2019), which I did when I was working on the doctorate (that I never completed, btw), I’ll patiently listen to your untutored opinions.
(Titus Grant, who was one of GEN Grant’s “body servants”, in his old age, wanted to be buried with GEN Grant.= I find it “interesting” that he adopted his former owner’s name.)

It is also DOCUMENTED FACT that U.S. Grant, before TWBTS, was a SLAVE OVERSEER & was known “- - - - among his fellows to be a good hand with the whip”.

Yours, TMN78247
