Is such a shame Grant is listed as corruption when nothing that happened during his administration would even register during the last 50 years of corruption. Hell compared to what's happening right now his administration was Saint like.
And it wasn't like Grant himself was corrupt. It was more that he was made figurehead of a political party he didn't have deep connections with and he was focused a lot on civil rights and mending the nation after the war.
He did have a nasty tendency to trust people who shouldn't have been trusted. Not party insiders, but personal friends. Or 'friends' rather.
He was used by monsters who didn't care if they sabotaged his entire cause and the USA, as long as they got out with their bag of money.
Just a few more good men around Grant could've made all the difference in the trajectory of this country.
Yeah, grant was not perfect and he had some flaws. But he’s still way better than what we thought
Yes it's important to remember a lot of the narrative on Grant was shaped by a lost cause myth supporters. Tainted by should be the better word I suppose.
