Given what they have done to Civil War history, I would vote no.

Just as idiotic as apologizing for things 150 years ago.

This guy is consistently listed among the worst presidents in U.S. history. If anyone should be replaced on paper currency by Harriet Tubman, it should be him, not Andrew Jackson or Alexander Hamilton.

My junior high school was named after Grant. The school was later de-funded and re-purposed.

Funny story. The school sports mascot used the same image as Yosemite Sam but was the Grant General. When the trademark owning studio objected, the locals first said “Hah. What are they gonna do about it now?” One answer, they hired workmen to cut into and tear up the section of the basketball court floorboards with Yosemite Sam. Was replaced by another design later.

When Grant occupied Richmond, the only lawfully-owned slave in the city was the handmaiden to his wife, Julia (who also happens to be entombed with her hubby).

Since Missus Grant owned slaves (plural, as she once went on record claiming she owned four), unless I am very much mistaken, under 19th century laws governing marital property, that makes Hiram Ulysses Grant (his given name) a slave-owner.

Grant was the greatest American general of all time. And in the last 20 years there has been a major reevaluation of his presidency. He deserves it.

Biden will never promote Grant. Grant was a Republican.
