Damn right! With the help of his son, and Mark Twain for fact checking incase he misremembered something, and assistance with getting his memoirs published. Twain personally delivered the first royalties check to Grant's wife, and if I'm recalling correctly it was for $4,000, which was the largest royalties payout to date at that point due to how many folks bought the book upon release, and pre-ordered it as mentioned in this short.
Grant's editor was Mark Twain. His memoir is a masterpiece of the genre. It's one of those books that's required reading for people who consider themselves educated.
Mark Twain's publishing company published Grant's memoirs largely at cost. Twain didn't want to profit from the great man's misfortune. He wanted the money to go to Grant's family. As a result, Twain's publishing company suffered and eventually it caused his company to go bankrupt.
It’s looks he did his job as a general, president and as a father and is enjoying his fruits of his labor. I think he knew his time was coming and enjoyed his last moments on this earth reading his news paper and relaxing.
@@ES-zk2so my ancestors died freeing the slaves. That doesn’t change the fact the Sherman/Grant committed war crimes on their March south through Georgia/ the Carolinas. He(Sherman)bombarded Atlanta for 3 weeks knowing full well civilian were in the buildings, after he marched his troops in they ran all the civilians out and looted their homes destroyed them to build a strong hold. In his own words “No consideration must be paid to the fact they are occupied by families, but the place must be cannonaded” One of Sherman’s men wrote in his diary after Sherman’s field order 67 "All around fine houses are leaving, by piece-meal, on the backs of soldiers. All these, to fix up quarters." For the civilians who came back to find their homes gone, Sherman would simply have told them that war is war” The Union sanctioned it with their “total war” stance. You could just say you don’t care if war crimes are committed as long as they are from the side you like.
He was such a great man, but unfortunately, people blame him for being corrupt. Him and his second vice president were the only uncorrupt ones in his cabinet.
I don’t think many presidents could have survived the presidency after the civil war like he did. He was fair minded but strong. And resilient relative to what was thrown at him.
@@montecarlostar I agree with you, but that’s not always the case. I have family members that had cancer didn’t do chemo yet suffered tremendously, especially towards the end. Nowadays they’re at least given medication to help with the comfort and pain, I hate to think of what one would go through without that.
Grant told Mark Twain that drinking a glass of water was as bad as drinking molten lead he was in so much pain. He finished the memoirs days before he died.
After a particular bloody day at war Gen. Sherman said to Grant “they hit us REAL hard today.” Grant took a puff on his cigar and said “I reckon……. We’ll whip ‘em tomorrow.”
Anyone that knows anything about his condition knows that he must have passed away from some other malady. You aren't sitting up and reading anything with 4 days left suffering from throat cancer.
Stoopid, you live in a Matrix and you are used and harvested for energy in the astral world, this means you live in a human farm and you are reincarnated over and over, there it is no Hades, your Bible it is false a forge.
Good question. Although some misguided people seem to think heroes are somehow without sin, Grant was like the rest of us. I'd like to think he made peace with his Maker. He was a pretty good president, and an outstanding general.
Grant never owned slaves, and in fact was very anti-slavery. Even more so than Lincoln. His father tried to give him a slave, but Grant immediately set them free.
In fact, Grant actually did quite alot during his presidency to help African-Americans. He heavily fought to pass the 14th and 15th amendments AND when the KKK began to rise, Grant sent in the military to crush them, pretty much destroying them as an effective organization at least for the next few decades.

Ulysses S. Grant defeated the Confederacy and won the Civil War, thereby preserving the country and freeing slaves. In his two-term presidency, Grant’s administration gave Blacks the right to vote, and crushed the Ku Klux Klan. Please allow reading and learning to be a friend and not foe.
Confederate president Jefferson Davis ordered his generals to execute all black union troops they came by, along with their white commanders. And this order was more often than not followed.

Photographs from the past feel like they have much more meaning than newer ones. This photo could say 1000 words 1000 different ways.
I agree with you about this. Thanks for bringing this up
This is true, but one day, photos from today will be 100 years old as well
People will say the same thing in 100 years time about pictures taken today. So don't be dismissive.
@@Tiffany_C_but most would be meaningless because of the quantity in which people take them, especially selfies
there are plenty of pictures taken with meaning today. it was a rare treat in the olden days, not to waste.

I urge everyone to read or listen on audio to his memoirs on YT.
Truly remarkable man and great American.
He was responsible for more deaths than anyone else in the war. He never batted a eye at using black people for human shields

I truly love seeing these historical photos. Just so very interesting!
I think a lot of people underestimate how valuable this old photos are
Thank God for US Grant.
He looks like a piece of shit and probably was one. He instituted a policy of total war: as a st louisan i have no respect for him
He was a butcher and a Jew!!!
He harassed the KKK for his 8 yrs.as US President.The opposite of Andrew Johnson, a trump- like disaster as President.
It’s looks he did his job as a general, president and as a father and is enjoying his fruits of his labor. I think he knew his time was coming and enjoyed his last moments on this earth reading his news paper and relaxing.
I feel like Ulysses is underrated
Mark Twain published those memoirs.
One of the greatest Americans to ever live.
Even in his last dying days he completed the memoirs. This ladies and gentleman is a family man and a man that has his priorities in order.
Great man. Great general. Great President
Great Warcriminal too.

I saw the Ulysses series that was amazing

he was born about 30mikes from my home and visiting Pt. Pleasant is like stepping back to those days and feels so peaceful
I try to look at every detail in these pictures down to the ground Just in awe of a time past.
Aww God bless you Grant 🫂 My family 💞

This is so neat. Thank you!
Knowing how people today with cancer suffer, I can only imagine how it must have been back then.
Back then it wasn't worse, people suffer from the chemo not from the cancer itself

must have sucked
Bruh this guy defines main character energy
Thank you General Grant
One of my favorite Americans.
His memoirs are excellent and very readabl. It helps that Mark Twain was his editor.
Grant had a terrible end.
Thankfully.
Karma
It was very painful indeed but in a way it was bittersweet because he set his family up for life when he finished his memoirs days before he died.
@@humptydumpty762 why are you racist

After a particular bloody day at war Gen. Sherman said to Grant “they hit us REAL hard today.” Grant took a puff on his cigar and said “I reckon……. We’ll whip ‘em tomorrow.”
Sherman said.. we’ve had the devil’s own day”..
Grant said.. “lick’em tommorow though”..
I bet he can still giving one good punch to someone who try to mess with him
He was America’s Napoleon Bonaparte, without the bombast and megalomania and with a healthier dose of pragmatism.

They said he smoked atleast 25 cigars a day his entire life.
He smoked as a baby wow that so cool

Tough old bird. On the porch reading the paper days before H Hour😳
He must have suffered with throat cancer. So many people sent him cigars but there was no medical connection with smoking and cancer during that time.
Look at those slippers! Fancy for such a tough guy! Lol

Nice shoes bro
Reminded me of the awsome 80s syfi cartoon.
U.S. Grant aka H.U.G.
Well
There’s another one where he’s covered in a blanket or something, which was not long after he died
That was a couple of days before this one.
Dig his Vanesque choice in footwear
Hoooooooooo1885hhhhhhhhhh hhhooooooooooo history........

What shoes is he wearing?
Amazing!!!!!

@@mattfrayer1270 However, the Grants aren't buried there. Only their ashes are.
why no chemo?
that wasnt a thing back then. you realize this man was a general for the union in the civil war right?
I wonder who is buried in his tomb?
Why? Are you hiding something?
🤔 I wonder if he repented his sins to while he was dying. Ain't no way, I would choose eternity in the Abyss of Hades
