Lincoln on Grant: "I can't spare this man; he fights!

One cup of water a day...in the South...in the Summer. I would have surrendered by late afternoon. On a side note, thank you History Channel. THIS kind of program is why we love you
-
Why isn’t this man revered in American history. Not only did he save the union but he fought for racial equality and civil rights. There should be a federal holiday named after this man 🇺🇸
-
I don't think Grant had a revengeful bone in his body. At Appomatox, He hushed his troops from cheering saying "These are our countrymen now, and should be treated as such". What an American.
-
He was called a butcher because lost 50 % of his men. Lee lost the same amount of men but nobody says anything.
-
In 17 Days, Grant's Army marched 200 miles and Won 5 Battles.

Grant started out as a quartermaster. That experience stuck with him while he was thinking large scale operations. In Mexico he got involved in battle and found, to his surprise that he was good at that. He was always cool while in motion. A brilliant horseman he loved horses and this increased his under stand-in of cavalry. Finally he knew how to handle huge numbers of men. Finally, he was truly humble. He knew how good he was.

I’ve actually seen those entrenchments, they’re still visible at Vicksburg to this day
-
Grant was the absolute hero the North needed.
-
5:35 "By personal property do you mean to include slaves?" nods "Sidearms, horses, no slaves.. no slaves leave with you." Thank you, sir.
-
Bravo History. This is what we want. No more reality bs!
-
"You were right and I was wrong..." Now thats a leader that can accept being wrong and admit it without being a fool about it
-
“No Slaves” almost made me cry! Freeedooom!
-
I guess COVID-19 has finally done some good: it made history channel realize that people really want HISTORY content!
-
It is just a terrible shame we lack men like U.S. Grant & Lincoln today.
