Watched episode 1; very good. I'll be picking up a book on Grant in the near future.

When I am stuck and need to figure something out I always remember the Immortal words of Socrates when he said:"I just drank what?"

if you see the doc, he freed one of his slaves when he Grant was broke. He could have gotten good money back then for him, but stood by his morals.

And he never owned slaves. his wife's family did but Grant and his family were very anti-slavery. Its all in the doc.
