Second Friday Lecture: Grant and the Verdict of History

Ulysses S. Grant has long been viewed as one of the finest generals in American history, the man who won the Civil War. To a point that is true; but he did not win the war all by himself. And it is not unreasonable to examine what all of those other generals who helped win the war have to say. Only by dispassionately examining the past, and by giving ear to more than one voice, can we come to a...

    The Lincoln marriage was complete hell. She was a cruel narcissist. Verbally and physically abusive. Mentally ill. President Lincoln did all of the giving and had abandonment issues. She did all of the taking. The family members 'protect' the family member who has the potential to publicly humiliate the important/famous spouse. Secrets.

    Nepoleon had entire corps of calvary to pursue retreating armies that would destroy them. America doesn't really offer the terrain to use that large of calvary units, Europe has a lot of open plains that make it perfect. It also takes along time to train good calvary units, like years of riding, and rifled muskets are deadly to calvary so why waste men you can't replace on the spot

    It’s quite struggle when your husband leaves you at the altar as he isn’t sure whether he wants to tell you has Syphilis. He elides Mary for a year, contemplating whether he’s upfront or in conceal mode. He comes back to wed you, but chooses to conceal his infection. Years later, your husband has his late stage infection occur in which his body is plastered with huge blisters, and you now realize your husband knew he had the infection all along-and did not tell you. It has now affected not only his health but yours. Sadly, Mary realizes her children are now immunocomprilosed as well. Your doctors tell you all to continue to take poisonous mercury pills which further destroy your families health, both mentally and physically. By the 1860’s, Mary realized that one lie had been the cause for so much tragedy. Her angry outbursts upon her husband, which were looked at undeserving, were entirely deserving. History was crafted to show that Mary was an awful person, but, if only Abe had been honest, we may have seen a different Mary. How sad Abe would be to know his concealment would,be cause for his Wife’s eternal damnation. Like Momma said, The truth always comes out in the end, no matter how hard anyone tries to hide it or stop it. Lies are just a temporary delay to the inevitable.

    I just discovered this site, thanks so much for putting it together. My great (only one great) grandfather, in a direct line to me, was just 21 when he volunteered for the 29th Wisconsin near Fox Lake and then was sent for training at Camp Randall. After the brilliant Vicksburg Campaign, he was assigned to the disastrous Red River Campaign where he came down seriously sick with something, perhaps malaria complicated with dysentery and had to be evacuated down river and then up to the big military hospital at Cairo. At Cairo, he just got worse and so they sent him back home, probably so he could be with family when he died (as expected). He didn't die, but very slowly regained his health. He was unable to rejoin his regiment for the mustering out, but two years later he was sufficiently recovered that he married a local German girl and the rest is history. He was 14 when his family migrated from what was then East Prussia, Germany (now part of Poland) from a village ironically with a name very similar to Bruinsburg. After wandering all over the Western US, he settled in tiny little Union City, OK. During WW1, during Wilson's anti-German scare, he was tied up in an American Flag, jeeringly paraded through town tied up and made to buy War Bonds by those wonderful anti-German, patriotic members of the KKK. "A lesser son of greater sires" I may be, but I am extremely proud I had an ancestor in the 29th Wisconsin. I would love to visit Vicksburg and Champions Hill, MS some day. I would love to see a picture of him and/or read one of his letters.
