They forgot to mention that his wife had to go to the battlefield to sober him up enough to fight. He love his booze

Definitely just added this to my Must see bucket list!!!!

There is a house in my area that’s named the grant house. He lived in it for a little while after he was president. It’s on officers row, in Vancouver, Washington.

Great informative video. Liked & subscribed.

He was given a beautiful house in his hometown "Galena , Illinois. ( and it's still standing )..He should have never run for President , and listened to family not strangers

Thanks

And guess what? He was also a Republican!

Do I have to make an appointment ?

Great documentary

Baumgardner's have done so much more than grant.

Please don't ever put U.S. Grant in the same sentence as LBJ....it's extremely insulting.

Greatest General of the civil war. Three armies surrendered to him.

I will buy his books

This man does a good job. He's conveys the humor and wit of Samuel Clemons quite well.

Greg gave us a great tour last month. He’s is very knowledgeable about everything Grant.

The Confederacy was an immoral system driven by and based on incentives of profiting from the buying and selling of human beings. A system that separated husbands from wives, parents from children, mothers from sons and fathers from daughters. ------------- "[The Southern] cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse” - Ulysses S. Grant, Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, Volume II ------------- 'Lincoln on Euclid, Slavery, Civil Rights and Equality', the beliefs he was killed for. th-cam.com/video/SPiw7bKwL2M/w-d-xo.html ------------- U.S. Grant captured three entire Confederate armies. First, at Fort Donelson. Second, at Vicksburg. Third, at Appomattox. The number of entire armies Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee captured? Zero. ------------- [The landmark achievement of U.S. Grant’s administration was his] effort to crush the Ku Klux Klan. Grant’s Justice Department brought three thousand (3,000) indictments against the Klan. His efforts to protect the African-American community, the fact that he became the most important president to the African-American community between Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon Johnson, this as a country is much bigger and more important story." - Ron Chernow, th-cam.com/video/-JCDwh_krQ4/w-d-xo.html ------------- Grant signed into law the most comprehensive civil rights legislation the United States would experience for almost a century. His administration essentially invented civil rights enforcement. He was the last U.S. President until Lyndon Johnson a century later to pass aggressive legislation protecting the civil rights and delivering the right to vote for African-Americans. "Grant" by Jean Edward Smith is one of the best biographies of U.S. Grant ever written. "Incredibly well researched with profound insights - especially the enormous and largely unrecognized contributions he fought for to advance civil rights during the era between Lincoln and Lyndon Johnson. One can only wonder how reconstruction may have been different had he won a third term instead of the Garfield/Tilden outcome. amzn.to/3fnAaln ------------- The evidence clearly shows that [Ulysses S. Grant] created the most auspicious record on racial equality and civil rights of any president from Lincoln to Lyndon B. Johnson. He also formulated some remarkably humane and advanced ideas on subjects ranging from federal Indian policy to public education. Given the limitations imposed on executive power by the Constitution, it is all the more remarkable that he acted as boldly as he did. So Grant’s full vindication-which will render him one of the greatest presidents of his era, if not of all American history-still awaits. Sean Wilentz, The Return of Ulysses newrepublic.com/article/72699/the-return-ulyses-s-grant ------------- "He was the single most important figure behind the Reconstruction process in the South and presided over the Fifteenth Amendment, which gave blacks the right to vote, and landmark civil rights legislation outlawing discrimination in public accommodation. The imperishable story of Grant's presidency was his campaign to crush the Ku Klux Klan, which tried to overturn the Civil War's outcome and restore the prior status quo." Ron Chernow, author of the "Grant." www.investors.com/news/management/leaders-and-success/ulysses-s-grant-won-the-civil-war-then-battled-for-civil-rights/ ------------- "Grant was the only president to support civil rights until Lyndon Johnson." www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2012/11/02/the-man-who-saved-the-union-hw-brands-talks-us-grant?page=2 ------------- Mark Twain said that U.S. Grant was "The greatest man I have ever had the privilege of knowing personally. And I have not known a man with a kinder nature or a purer character. He was called the Silent Man -- the Sphynx -- and he was that, in public, but not in private. There he was a fluent and able talker -- with a large sense of humor, and a most rare gift of compacting meaty things into phrases of stunning felicity." - Mark Twain "Frank Fuller and My First New York Lecture," published in 2009 in Who Is Mark Twain? ------------- "Man proposes and God disposes. There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice." - Ulysses S. Grant. Military historian Ethan S. Rafuse of the U.S. Army's Command and General Staff College, "My Earnest Endeavor": Grant Takes Command, 1864, The Kansas City Public Library, March 13, 2014, th-cam.com/video/MPgZnlbqpxY/w-d-xo.html ------------- In some ways this is reflective of Grant’s generalship, his ability to accept that he may make plans but if the plans don’t work out, that’s just something that’s going to happen and he does not get flustered or flummoxed by this. His ability to adapt, to cope with problems as they come, not lose his cool and this is one of his great qualities as a general. - Military historian Ethan S. Rafuse of the U.S. Army's Command and General Staff College, "My Earnest Endeavor": Grant Takes Command, 1864, The Kansas City Public Library, March 13, 2014, th-cam.com/video/MPgZnlbqpxY/w-d-xo.html ------------- Grant: The Legacy of Ulysses S. Grant. th-cam.com/video/Km4K8S5RlxM/w-d-xo.html ------------- According to historian Brooks Simpson, Grant was on "the right side of history". Simpson said, "[w]e now view Reconstruction ... as something that should have succeeded in securing equality for African-Americans, and we see Grant as supportive of that effort and doing as much as any person could do to try to secure that within realm of political reality." John F. Marszalek said, "You have to go almost to Lyndon Johnson to find a president who tried to do as much to ensure black people found freedom." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_reputation_of_Ulysses_S._Grant, 4 March 2020 ------------- Grant sought during Reconstruction to protect the Civil Rights of African Americans in the South in a more sustained manner than other politicians of his day. In that respect, Grant comes across as a forceful and effective chief executive at a time of national retreat from the promise of racial justice. The same is true for Grant’s policy toward Native Americans in the West. The president’s “peace policy” looked to more equitable treatment of Indians in contrast to the callous exploitation of so many whites in and out of politics. www.enotes.com/topics/grant -------------

Ol' Robert E. Lee thought he was being clever in commenting on Ely Parker as "one true American here"... Parker outwitted him, saying..."we are all Americans here!" Word.

Treat Williams was a good person

It was sad that the Henry Ford didn't want it.

General Grant, a great American.

A completely under-rated man.

Planning on be there in October. This will be our first time and couldn’t be more excited!!

Rip 🙏

10 bucks says someone swapped out that cocaine water in the last 130 years or so.

Very interesting, thanks so much.

Wonderful program, thank you so much.

Thank You for showcasing the story of this house. I contributed a small amount a few years ago to fund its restoration (after seeing a youtube video about the moving of the house), and was wondering what had become of the effort. Glad to see it is still an active effort.

He also completely took down the first wave of the KKK.

Can you still leave calling cards in a tray at the museum? I had some cards made up because I WILL see this custom return.

Why was there never a 😊presidential library built for Grant?

Grant did what for the Native Americans? Sent Custer to kill them and get them out of the Black Hills. More like Grant the Butcher!

Very enlightening into life of President Grant

Great video. Could have a little bit less of the "....and uh, uh's" !

A very moving program, thank you so very much.

Wonderful program, thank you so much.

God Bless him.

This was so informative and interesting. Thank you for telling the story of a phase of U. S. Grant's life that isn't so well known. Great presentation!

The Board of Indian Commissioners failed Grant in not implementing the Indian policies that Grant wanted. It's tragic.

Fascinating presentation--thank you!

I agree with you and I hope black history documentary would be telling everything about how people are very popular in history documentary

As an "Original Transcon RR" fan, I study this era with enjoyment. Grant looms large in it's construction back in 1863-69. On OMCA, (Oakland Museum of CA), there are photos by A.J. Russell, who took two famous ones of Grant, and Party at Fort Sanders, WY., July of 1868, in which Grenville Dodge, (Chief Engineer) of UP RR, had a showdown with Thomas Durant, Union Pacific VP., who owned most of the stock. Durant wanted to fire Dodge, so he could engineer more profits by creating indirect, more lengthy, more profitable routes as it built west. The future President Grant put Durant down, saying that the government expected the RR to be built with Dodge as Chief Engineer. Those photos by A.J. also included General Sherman, and other notable generals of that era. Grant's reputation is improving as the decades progress, in the eyes of historians. Grant was in power during a very turbulent time in our history, and out of those times our nation realized it's "Manifest Destiny", which continued 'til our modern recent times. Thanks for the opportunity to respond.

For the Civil War buffs- if you come this far north to Grant's cottage in Wilton, be sure to visit John Brown's State Historic Site (including his grave site) in Lake Placid (it is also a National Historic Landmark). If you extend your stay in this area, also visit the site of St. Albans Raid (Confederate bank robbery) in northern Vermont.

"Sacred Place" 😇

My friend General Grant 👥 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

It was the Republicans who fought off the Democrats 75 day filibuster and passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, not Johnson.

Some said that the two terms of Grant presidency was the most corrupt!

Buddy crushed his US Grant role
