Grant didn’t like slavery. The slaves on his farm belonged to his father in law. And grant worked along side them.

Kind of hard to make him a slave holding jerk.

“The slaves on his farm belonged to his father in law.”

If Grant's wife is to be believed, she owned slaves too.

Grant benefited from slavery and, at one time, owned a slave out-right.

But legend has it “Grant fought to free the slaves.” That will protect his legacy; until it doesn't.
