Let's not pass partial truths on about another President. There is enough misinformation going around. Grant's in-laws from Missouri were slave owners, and by virtue of the fact that his wife Julia Dent was guilty by family, a slave briefly passed into Grant's possession when Mr Dent died. He was emancipated. Grant did a lot for the black population (such as could be done back in the day). As far as the original post about The Villages statues being in danger---seriously? LOL! Ron
