There are numerous biographies of Grant, none of which document any slave owned after 1859. The latest one is Ron Chernow's work that came out in 2017.

And all the Dent family slaves which Julia Grant had use of, and who are constantly misidentified as either being her property or Grant's property, were female. So Erasmus Meade could not have been among them.

So I would be interested in knowing the source for this information which has escaped every other Grant biographer out there. Could it be that you misread or mistook the information you claim you came across?

At 100.oo per hour (sic LoL) one would hope that he wouldn't be stumbling over the easy ones!

Could it be that the biographers of U. S. Grant tried to cover up for his HYPOCRISY & DECEITS, just as the press in the 21st Century has covered up for Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary ROTTEN Clinton, Senator Robert “KKK” Byrd & HUNDREDS of other (OH, so SUPERIOR to regular citizens that they are routinely “excused of” committing DISGUSTING, IMMORAL & CRIMINAL ACTS) persons??

Which biographers discuss frankly GEN Grant’s years as a CRUEL slave-overseer, addiction to morphia (as a result of having his hip broken before TWBTS) & his alcoholism??

As a general rule, biographers PREFER “whitewashing” their subjects.
I wonder how BHO, HRC & a host of other CROOKS, CREEPS, CRIMINALS & other LEFTIST DIMocRATS of this century will be portrayed in 20/50/100 years??
