@eringobragh915 The North never approved of the French involvement in Mexico, it went against the Monroe Doctrine and they were afraid of French support for the Confederacy. At several points they stationed men along the border to keep the French in line, in fact after the war General Sheridan missed the grand review because Grant sent him down to the border because Grant had heard action might be taken. After the war however nobody in the north or south was eager for more fighting.

@andylarson19591 One of my favorite Grant stories.

[andylarson19591]

@SanchezAccount Read history pinhead. Grant's losses were LESS than his opponents in ALL campaigns. No documented drinking episodes during the war. You are reading too much lost cause revisionist bs published in the 1890's. Grow up and do some serious study.

@GumpVader What are you smoking?

@Thx1138d 1864 Lincoln puts him in command of all Union armies. Grant comes east. Grant and son Fred show up at Willards Hotel in DC unannounced. Clerk tells Grant no rooms except a closet in attic. Grant says okay and signs guest book: "US Grant and son, Galena Il" . Clerk freaks. Grant gets presidential suit and proceeds to win the war. God bless the memory of US Grant.
