Legacy of Ulysses S. Grant Complicated 200 Years After Birth
The legacy of Ulysses S. Grant isn't getting any less complicated 200 years after his birth.
Grant battered the slave-owning South into surrender as President Abraham Lincoln's top Union general, yet he owned at least one enslaved person before the war.
A Native American man was among Grant's best friends and Grant was sympathetic toward Indigenous people, but he let white settlers overrun their lands as president.
A relentless attacker on the battlefield, Grant failed to prevent corruption in his own administration.
