His in-laws,however, were slave owners as was his wife by most accounts. (Some argue that Julia's slaves belonged to her father.)

it's hard to believe that you don't KNOW that grant was a slaveOWNER until he was forced to free his slaves after the war! And just where was he living where it was legal for him to own slaves after the rebellion?
actually you do KNOW & CHOOSE to LIE about it.
If I'm lying then answer the question.
