Grant deserves an honored place in American history, second only to Lincoln, for what he did for the freed slaves. He got the big issues right during his presidency, even if he bungled many of the small ones. “That sturdy old Roman, Benjamin Butler, made the Negro, a contraband, Abraham Lincoln made him a freeman, and general Ulysses S Grant made him a citizen.“ Frederick Douglass
