The reputation of Ulysses S. Grant, President Abraham Lincoln’s top Union general and then president himself, is still complicated 200 years after his birth.
Grant battered theinto surrender as President Abraham Lincoln’s top Union general, yet he owned at least one enslaved person before the war.
A relentless attacker on the battlefield, Grant failed to prevent corruption in his own administration. But Grant also tried to expel Jewish people from a Southern military district he oversaw in an ill-fated attempt to crack down on illegal cotton trading. And he favored a policy of “assimilating” Native Americans into white culture rather than letting them maintain their own traditions — a practice some now view as cultural genocide.
“These are 19th century men and they were more progressive than average men during that period, but they’re still struggling with some very basic issues,” Medford said.
