As Ulysses Grant put it: "The rebels fought valiantly, but in the worst cause for which men ever fought."

Now that's an interesting implication for a former slave owner like Grant.

Thhe Democrat-Confederate rebels fought for slavery, but the United States army fought to preserve the United States. In any case, I don't see how Grant could have owned slaves, never having lived in a slave state.
