Know what? You may be correct, you make some valid observations but I will just stick with the memoirs if you don't mind. I like the information to be first hand. We are finding out new stuff everyday,

History has a habit of changing to many little things to paint the victors in the best light don't ya think? By Grants own words..

I know Grant was not anti-slavery

I know he would not have fought for the north without a commission that he liked. It was all about money for him.

I know he was planning on setting up a nice little Negro country island for all of the free slaves to move to. You know, so they could be with their own kind.(his words)

I know he had no firm convictions on slavery at all until AFTER the war.

So I will make my judgments on the totality of his comments if you don't mind.

And you know all that from what source?
