U.S. Grant was probably the most corrupt President in the history of the United States if you exclude Clinton. His army was made up of a bunch of immigrants who, in order to save themselves from starving to death, enlisted in the Union Army. He had an unlimited # of soldiers to lose. The Union army raped and pillaged civilians in the south. They fought dishonorably throughout the whole war. The Confederates fought bravely and endured hardships that would have caused mass desertion in the Union army. Southerners have, and will continue to have, superior character to Yankees. The War of Northern Oppression illustrated that.

This is what i've always been told and i can tell you one thing i'm getting from the memoirs is that Grant was a very politically savvy person. So i don't doubt that he had the capacity to be very corrupt. Please feed me some details about his corruption. I want to juxtapose it to how he spins it in the memoirs.
