Just finished this (after reading Chernow's books on Hamilton and Washington). Highly recommend all 3.
I know he was an extreme abolitionist, but Grant arguably did more for Black Americans than Lincoln or LB Johnson (and donald, but that goes without saying).
Fun fact: #TankTheDog is named after Grant because he won the battle of Shiloh and Tank is a Shiloh Shepherd (there's a Tank named after Grant). #DogsofCoSo
follow up to last post, #RocketTheDog is named after Don Carlos Buell who helped win the battle of Shiloh with Grant, but Buell was kind of an ass and wanted to take the spotlight away from Grant, which is actually quite fitting for Rocket...
