One Comment to “Ulysses S. Grant’s Lifelong Struggle With Alcohol”
The evidence of the clarity of recall that Grant accurately
displays in his memoirs does not indicate a mind sotten with
liquor. It is amazing that history can be so influenced by people
with negative attitudes, liars, and promoters of destructive
innuendo.
When Grant had close to absolute power, he was a genius. When
asked to influence the morass of evil that pervades..now and
then.. governments, he failed.
Grant, in attitude and personal philosophy, was a good person.
