It sure would...except that like so many other claims of yours there isn’t a shred of truth to it. Grant owned a single slave which he freed in 1859. After 1864 Grant and his wife didn’t live anywhere where slavery was legal. The claim that he owned slaves up until the ratification of the 13th Amendment - and some lost causers have even claimed he owned them after the ratification - is complete fantasy.

Do you deny that many unionists owned slaves or that slaves built the capital dome during the war too?

Nice try at obfuscation but as usual, you fail.

I have no doubt that there were Unionist slave owners in Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri. Grant's in-laws were two of them. As for the capitol dome, whether slaves worked on that is unknown. There is no evidence that they did and no evidence that they did not. Link

Pointing out yet another example of your false claims and bald-faced lies is not "obfuscation". It's looking like a full-time career.
